CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System

IRIS è l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Università degli Studi di Trento, e ha lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare, conservare e diffondere, anche ad accesso aperto, la produzione scientifica degli autori afferenti all'Università degli Studi di Trento.

The results of a combined experimental study of the high-frequency acoustic dynamics and of the vibrational density of states (VDOS) as a function of temperature in a glass of sorbitol are reported here. The excess in the VDOS at ∼4.5 meV over the Debye, elastic continuum prediction (boson peak) is found to be clearly related to anomalies observed in the acoustic dispersion curve in the mesoscopic wavenumber range of few nm^{−1}. The quasiharmonic temperature dependence of the acoustic dispersion curves offers a natural explanation for the observed scaling of the boson peak with the elastic medium properties.
