Experimental studies of vibrational modes in a two-dimensional amorphous solid

The low-frequency collective vibrational modes, known as the boson peak, characterize many glasses at low temperature, yet its origin remains elusive. Zhang et al. show a correlation between the boson peak and the spatial heterogeneity of shear modulus fluctuation in a two-dimensional granular syste...
