Application of the random matrix theory to the boson peak in glasses


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The density of vibrational states $g(omega)$ of an amorphous system is studied by using the random-matrix theory. Taking into account the most important correlations between elements of the random matrix of the system, equations for the density of vibrational states $g(omega)$ are obtained. The analysis of these equations shows that in the low-frequency region the vibrational density of states has the Debye behavior $g(omega) sim omega^2$. In the higher frequency region, there is the boson peak as an additional contribution to the density of states. The obtained equations are in a good agreement with the numerical results and allow us to find an exact shape of the boson peak.
