Low-frequency vibrational modes anomalies and rigidity: a key to understanding the glass and the electronic properties of flexible materials from a topological perspective

Using rigidity (constraint) theory of glasses, the effects of low frequency vibrational modes anomaliesin the glass transition are studied. It is discussed how the possibility of tailoring by chemicaldoping the number of low frequency modes gives clues about how to determine the glass transitiontemp...
