Universal non-mean-field scaling in the density of state of amorphous solids
arXiv:1808.09761 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.99.050901
Abstract
Amorphous solids have excess soft modes in addition to the phonon modes described by the Debye theory. Recent numerical results show that if the phonon modes are carefully removed, the density of state of the excess soft modes exhibit universal quartic scaling, independent of the interaction potential, preparation protocol, and spatial dimensions. We hereby provide a theoretical framework to describe this universal scaling behavior. For this purpose, we extend the mean-field theory to include the effects of finite dimensional fluctuation. Based on a semi-phenomenological argument, we show that mean-field quadratic scaling is replaced by the quartic scaling in finite dimensions. Furthermore, we apply our formalism to explain the pressure and protocol dependence of the excess soft modes.
