Unifying description of the vibrational anomalies of amorphous materials

The vibrational density of states D(ω) of solids controls their thermal and transport properties. In crystals, the low-frequency modes are extended phonons distributed in frequency according to Debye's law, D(ω)∝ω^{2}. In amorphous solids, phonons are damped, and at low frequency D(ω) comprises...
