Composition Dependence of the Boson Peak and Universality in Lithium Borate Binary Glasses: Inelastic Neutron and Raman Scattering Studies

概要

We study the low-energy vibrational dynamics, called the boson peak (BP), of binary lithium borate glasses as a function of the composition of these glasses by inelastic neutron and Raman scattering. Firstly, we analyze the variations in the properties of the BP with the composition. The position and intensity of the BP linearly change with increasing $x$ owing to the changes in the intermediate glass structures. Secondly, we demonstrate that all spectral shapes with different compositions can be scaled by a single master curve, and are the same for all spectra. The results suggests that there is a universal distribution of the vibrational density of states, which does not change with the composition, even though the structures of lithium borate glasses markedly change. The effect of Li2O doping can be understood to be a chemical structure-induced densification.
