The spectral width as a function of the external momentum for the dynamical structure factor of a disordered harmonic solid, considered as a toy model for supercooled liquids and glasses, is studied.Abstract:
We study the spectral width as a function of the external momentum for the dynamical structure factor of a disordered harmonic solid, considered as a toy model for supercooled liquids and glasses. In the contexts of both the single-link coherent potential approximation and a single-defect approximation, two different regimes are clearly identified: if the density of states at zero energy is zero, the usual p^(4) law is recovered for small momentum. On the contrary, if the disorder induces a nonvanishing density of states at zero energy, a linear behavior is obtained. The dynamical structure factor is numerically calculated in lattices as large as 96^(3) and satisfactorily agrees with the analytical computations.read more

Ioffe-Regel criterion and diffusion of vibrations in random lattices
TL;DR: In this article, the diffusion of vibrations in harmonic lattices with strong force-constant disorder was studied using a stable random matrix approach, and it was shown that most of the vibrations in this range are not localized.

TL;DR: In this paper, a d-dimensional model for sound waves in a disordered environment, in which the local fluctuations of the elastic modulus are spatially correlated with a certain correlation length, is investigated analytically by means of a field-theoretical effective medium theory (selfconsistent Born approximation) and numerically on a square lattice.

TL;DR: A class of mean-field models for the isostatic transition of systems of soft spheres is proposed, in which the contact network is modeled as a random graph and each contact is associated to d degrees of freedom, which predicts a nontrivial dependence of α on the details of the coordination distribution.
