We investigate a prominent vibrational feature in amorphous silica, the so-called boson peak, by means of molecular dynamics computer simulations. The dynamic structure factor S(q,nu) in the liquid, as well as in the glass state, scales…
We study, analytically and numerically, an off-lattice model of scalar harmonic vibrations for structural glasses. The model has a Boson-Peak which we argue can be considered as a prototype for materials with a Boson Peak frequency that…
The lattice dynamics of the silica polymorph {\alpha}-cristobalite has been investigated by a combination of diffuse and inelastic x-ray scattering and ab initio lattice dynamics calculations. Phonon dispersion relations and vibrational…
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…
The excess low-frequency vibrational spectrum, called boson peak, and non-affine elastic response are the most important particularities of glasses. Herein, the vibrational and mechanical properties of polymeric glasses are examined by…
The inelastic scattering intensities of glasses and amorphous materials has a maximum at a low frequency, the so called Boson peak. Under applied hydrostatic pressure, $P$, the Boson peak frequency, $\omega_{\rm b}$, is shifted upwards. We…
Glasses have a large excess of low-frequency vibrational modes in comparison with continuous elastic body, the so-called Boson Peak, which appears to correlate with several crucial properties of glasses, such as transport or fragility. I…
Structural, vibrational and thermal properties of densified sodium silicate (NS2) are investigated with classical molecular dynamics simulations of the glass and the liquid state. A systematic investigation of the glass structure with…
We present in this paper a numerical study of the vibrational eigenvectors of a two-dimensional amorphous material, previously deeply studied from the point of view of mechanical properties and vibrational eigen-frequencies [7-10].…
A close inspection of neutron spectra of glass formers in the frequency region above the boson peak does not show the constant eigenvalue density expected for a random dynamical matrix, but a slow decrease towards higher eigenvalues. In…
Implications of reduction procedures applied to the low energy part of the vibrational density of states in glasses and supercooled liquids are considered by advancing a detailed comparison between the excess - over the Debye limit -…
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…
The study of the effects of the density variations on the vibrational dynamics in vitreous silica is presented. A detailed analysis of the dynamical structure factor, as well as of the current spectra, allows the identification of a…
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…
Using molecular dynamics computer simulations we investigate the dynamics of supercooled silica in the frequency range 0.5-20~THz and the wave-vector range 0.13-1.1\AA^{-1}. We find that for small wave-vectors the dispersion relations are…
The Boson peak is believed to be the key to the fundamental understanding of the anomalous thermodynamic properties of glasses, notably the anomalous peak in the heat capacity at low temperatures; it is believed to be due to an excess of…
The position and strength of the boson peak in silica glass vary considerably with temperature $T$. Such variations cannot be explained solely with changes in the Debye energy. New Brillouin scattering measurements are presented which allow…
A theory for the vibrational dynamics in disordered solids [W. Schirmacher, Europhys. Lett. {\bf 73}, 892 (2006)], based on the random spatial variation of the shear modulus, has been applied to determine the wavevector ($k$) dependence of…
New temperature dependent inelastic x-ray (IXS) and Raman (RS) scattering data are compared to each other and with existing inelastic neutron scattering data in vitreous silica (v-SiO_2), in the 300 - 1775 K region. The IXS data show…
The scaling behavior of the so-called boson peak in glass-formers and its relation to the elastic properties of the system remains a source of controversy. Here, the boson peak in a binary reactive mixture is measured by Raman scattering…
