Unified theory of vibrational spectra in hard amorphous materials

The phonon spectra of solids, described through the measurable vibrational density of states (VDOS), provide a wealth of information about the underlying atomic structure and bonding, and they determine fundamental macroscopic properties such as specific heat, thermal conductivity, and superconducti...
