Universal disorder-induced broadening of phonon bands: from disordered lattices to glasses
The translational symmetry of solids, either ordered or disordered, gives rise to the existence of low-frequency phonons. In ordered systems, either crystalline solids or isotropic homogeneous continua, some phonons characterized by different wavevectors are degenerate, i.e. they share the exact sam...
