Diffusons, locons and propagons: Character of atomic vibrations in amorphous Si
Abstract
Numerical studies of amorphous Si show that the lowest 4% of vibrational modes are piane wave like (‘propagons’) and the highest 3% of modes are localized (‘locons’). The rest are neither piane wave like nor localized. We cali them ‘diffusons’. Since diffusons are by far the most numerous, we try to characterize them by calculating such properties as the wave-vector and polarization (which do not seem to be useful), ‘phase auotient’ (a measure of the change of vibrational phase between first-neighbour atoms), spadal polarization memory and diffusivity. Localized states are characterized by finding decay lengths, inverse participation ratios and coordination numbers of the participating atoms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
