Boron phosphide (BP) is a (super)hard semiconductor constituted of light elements, which is promising for high demand applications at extreme conditions. The behavior of BP at high temperatures and pressures is of special interest but is…

The density of vibrational states $g(\omega)$ of an amorphous system is studied by using the random-matrix theory. Taking into account the most important correlations between elements of the random matrix of the system, equations for the…

Amorphous solids manifest puzzling effects of mysterious degrees of freedom that give rise to a heat capacity and phonon scattering in great excess over what would be expected for a solid that has a unique vibrational ground state. Of…

The equations of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) for ideal liquid-glass transitions are used for a discussion of the evolution of the density-fluctuation spectra of glass-forming systems for frequencies within the dynamical window between…

It is well known that amorphous solids display a phonon spectrum where the Debye $\sim \omega^2$ law at low frequency melds into an anomalous excess-mode peak (the boson peak) before entering a quasi-localized regime at higher frequencies…

The vibrational anomalies of glasses, in particular the boson peak, are addressed from the standpoint of heterogeneous elasticity, namely the spatial fluctuations of elastic constants caused by the structural disorder of the amorphous…

Amorphous solids are viscoelastic. They dissipate energy when deformed at finite rate and finite temperature. We here use analytic theory and molecular simulations to demonstrate that linear viscoelastic dissipation can be directly related…

The intrinsic nature of glass states and glass transitions at the atomic scale remain a fundamental open question in condensed-matter physics and materials science. By combining femtosecond electron diffraction with time-dependent…

We performed terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, low-frequency Raman scattering, and Brillouin light scattering on vitreous glucose to investigate the boson peak (BP) dynamics. In the spectra of {\alpha}({\nu})/{\nu}2 [{\alpha}({\nu}) is…

We present a random matrix approach to study general vibrational properties of stable amorphous solids with translational invariance using the correlated Wishart ensemble. Within this approach, both analytical and numerical methods can be…

Low-temperature properties of crystalline solids can be understood using harmonic perturbations around a perfect lattice, as in Debye's theory. Low-temperature properties of amorphous solids, however, strongly depart from such descriptions,…

The excess low-frequency normal modes for two widely-used models of glasses were studied at zero temperature. The onset frequencies for the anomalous modes for both systems agree well with predictions of a variational argument, which is…

We present the results of extensive molecular dynamics computer simulations in which the high frequency dynamics of silica, nu>0.5 THz, is investigated in the viscous liquid state as well as in the glass state. We characterize the…

We estimate numerically the normal modes of the free energy in a glass of hard discs. We observe that, near the glass transition or after a rapid quench deep in the glass phase, the density of states (i) is characteristic of a marginally…

The boson peak in metallic glasses is modeled in terms of local structural shear rearrangements. Using Eshelby's solution of the corresponding elasticity theory problem (J. D. Eshelby, Proc. Roy. Soc. A241, 376 (1957)), one can calculate…

We present a numerical simulation study of the density-dependence (rho = 2.2 - 4.0 g/cm^3) of the high-energy collective dynamics in vitreous silica at mesoscopic wavevectors (Q = 1 - 18 nm^-1). The density-dependence of the longitudinal…

We conduct experiments on two-dimensional packings of colloidal thermosensitive hydrogel particles whose packing fraction can be tuned above the jamming transition by varying the temperature. By measuring displacement correlations between…

A colloidal suspension of active Brownian particles (ABPs) driven by controllable forces into directed or persistent motions can serve as a model for understanding the biological systems. Experiments and numerical simulations are…

We discuss a novel approach, the point-to-set correlation functions, that allows to determine relevant static and dynamic length scales in glass-forming liquids. We find that static length scales increase monotonically when the temperature…

Raman scattering measurements are used to follow the modification of the vibrational density of states in a reactive epoxy{amine mixture during isothermal polymerization. Combining with Brillouin light and inelastic x-ray scattering…
