Universal Density of Low Frequency States in Silica Glass at Finite Temperatures

Abstract
The theoretical understanding of the low-frequency modes in amorphous solids at finite temperature is still incomplete. The study of the relevant modes is obscured by the dressing of inter-particle forces by collision-induced momentum transfer that is unavoidable at finite temperatures. Recently, it was proposed that low frequency modes of vibrations around the {\em thermally averaged} configurations deserve special attention. In simple model glasses with bare binary interactions, these included quasi-localized modes whose density of states appears to be universal, depending on the frequencies as , in agreement with the similar law that is obtained with bare forces at zero temperature. In this work, we report investigations of a model of silica glass at finite temperature; here the bare forces include binary and ternary interactions. Nevertheless we can establish the validity of the universal law of the density of quasi-localized modes also in this richer and more realistic model glass.
