A Unified Model for the Low-Energy Vibrational Behaviour of Amorphous Solids
Abstract
The anomalous low-energy vibrational behaviour exhibited by amorphous solids (a peak in the vibrational density of states, in C v / T 3 and in the Raman spectrum–the boson peak–and a plateau in the thermal conductivity) is ascribed to the phonon scattering caused by intrinsic density fluctuation domains in the structure, within which short- and medium-range order is maintained and beyond which the material is structurally isotropic and homogeneous. Phonon localization occurs when the mean-free path is comparable to the size of the domains. This model can also explain the correlation between the boson-peak frequency and the position of the first sharp diffraction peak in the structure factor observed in a number of inorganic and polymeric amorphous solids.

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.
