Heterogeneous shear elasticity of glasses: the origin of the boson peak
The local elasticity of glasses is known to be inhomogeneous on a microscopic scale compared to that of crystalline materials. Their vibrational spectrum strongly deviates from that expected from Debye's elasticity theory: The density of states deviates from Debye's law, the sound velocity shows a negative dispersion in the boson-peak frequency regime and there is a strong increase of the sound...
متن کاملNumerical results for ground states of mean-field spin glasses at low connectivities
An extensive list of results for the ground-state properties of spin glasses on random graphs is presented. These results provide a timely benchmark for currently developing theoretical techniques based on replica symmetry breaking that are being tested on mean-field models at low connectivity. Comparison with existing replica results for such models verifies the strength of those techniques. Y...
متن کاملTheory of Sound Attenuation in Glasses: The Role of Thermal Vibrations
Sound attenuation and internal friction coefficients are calculated for a realistic model of amorphous silicon. It is found that, contrary to previous views, thermal vibrations can induce sound attenuation at ultrasonic and hypersonic frequencies that is of the same order or even larger than in crystals. The reason is the internal strain induced anomalously large Grüneisen parameters of the low...
متن کاملTemperature chaos in a replica symmetry broken spin glass model - A hierarchical model with temperature chaos
– Temperature chaos is an extreme sensitivity of the equilibrium state to a change of temperature. It arises in several disordered systems that are described by the so called scaling theory of spin glasses, while it seems to be absent in mean field models. We consider a model spin glass on a tree and show that although it has mean field behavior with replica symmetry breaking, it manifestly has...
متن کاملGamma-ray shielding properties for silicate glasses containing Bi2O3, PbO, and BaO
Introduction: With the extensive application of radiation sources and radioactive materials in various fields, the study of attenuation and absorption of X-rays and gamma-rays in several materials has become an essential and interesting field of research. Glass materials are possible alternatives of concretes for radiation-shielding materials. Materials and Methods:...
