Universal correlation between boson peak and quasi-localized modes in solids
The low-temperature specific heat capacity Cph of ideal crystals can be effectively described by the classical Debye T3 law. However, in amorphous solids and defective crystals, the reduced phonon heat capacity, Cph/T3, consistently deviates from the Debye model, exhibiting the well-known non-Debye excess anomaly, namely the boson peak (BP). In this work, we systematically study the low-temperature heat capacity Cp across a wide range of solids, finding that Cp can be accurately described by the soft potential model. The Cph/T3 of these solids begins to deviate from the Debye prediction near the characteristic temperature TC and displays a pronounced excess hump at TBP, which is the characteristic temperature of BP. We find that the reduced BP in both glasses and crystals exhibits a universal behavior, which can be described by an empirical function Δ*. Furthermore, a linear correlation between TC and TBP is observed among solids regardless of their topology, which reveals a universal connection between the BP and quasilocalized modes in solids. The result provides experimental support for the soft potential model, which may underpin the explanation of low-temperature anomalies and the formation of the BP in solids.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
