Effect of glass stability on the low frequency vibrations of vapor deposited glasses
I. Festi, E. Alfinelli, D. Bessas +8
Ultra-stable glasses prepared from the physical vapor deposition of organic molecules present a very low density of two-level states, the kind of glass defects that determine their…

Boson peak in covalent network glasses: Isostaticity and marginal stability
Hideyuki Mizuno, Tatsuya Mori, Giacomo Baldi +1
The boson peak (BP) stands as a key feature in understanding glasses and amorphous materials. It directly underlies their anomalous material properties, including thermal behaviors…
