Rigidity-based approach to the boson peak in amorphous solids: from sphere packing to amorphous silica
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 review recent results showing that the Boson Peak is a necessary consequence of the weak connectivity of the solid. I explain why in assemblies repulsive spher...
متن کاملHard-sphere solids near close packing: testing theories for crystallization
The freezing transition of hard spheres has been well described by various versions of density-functional theory (DFT). These theories should possess the close-packed crystal as a special limit, which represents an extreme testing ground for the quality of such liquid-state based theories. We therefore study the predictions of DFT for the structure and thermodynamics of the hard-sphere crystal ...
متن کاملPath integral Monte Carlo study of quantum-hard sphere solids.
A path integral study of the fcc, hcp, and bcc quantum hard-sphere solids is presented. Ranges of densities within the interval of reduced de Broglie wavelengths 0.2≤λB(*)≤0.8 have been analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations with Cao-Berne propagator. Energies, pressures, and structural quantities (pair radial correlation functions, centroid structure factors, and Steinhardt order parameters) h...
متن کاملHard-sphere statistics along the metastable amorphous branch
Using simulation techniques that we discussed in a previous work, we create random dense hard-sphere systems above the freezing point ~i.e., along the metastable branch! and measure key quantities that characterize the structure for such high densities. These include certain statistics of the void space, nearest-neighbor statistics, and the mean coordination number. Our numerical results turn o...
متن کاملHidden structure in amorphous solids
Review copy ± not for distribution (pss-logo will be inserted here by the publisher) pss-‐Header will be provided by the publisher 1 Introduction The continuous random network (CRN) has become the accepted model for homogeneously disordered materials, and for good reason: such atomistic models reproduce the experimentally observed properties of the materials, including some of the finer detail...
