Low-Frequency Vibrational States in Ideal Glasses with Random Pinning

Abstract

Glasses exhibit spatially localized vibrations in the low-frequency regime. These localized modes emerge below the boson peak frequency ${\omega }_{\text{BP}}$, and their vibrational densities of state follow $g(\omega )\propto {\omega }^4$ ($\omega$ is frequency). Here, we attempt to address how the localized vibrations behave through the ideal glass transition. To do this, we employ a random pinning method, which enables us to study the thermodynamic glass transition. We find that the localized vibrations survive even in equilibrium glass states. Remarkably, the localized vibrations still maintain the properties of appearance below ${\omega }_{\text{BP}}$ and $g(\omega )\propto {\omega }^4$. Our results provide important insight into the material properties of ideal glasses.
