Density of excess modes below the first phonon mode in four-dimensional glasses

Glasses are known to possess low-frequency excess modes beyond the Debye prediction.For decades,it has been assumed that evolution of low-frequency density of excess modes D(ω)with frequency ω follows a power-law scaling:D(ω)~ωγ.However,it remains debated on the value of γ at low frequencies below the first phonon-like mode in finite-size glasses.Early simulation studies reported γ=4 at low frequencies in two-(2D),three-(3D),and four-dimensional(4D)glasses,whereas recent observations in 2D and 3D glasses suggested γ=3.5 in a lower-frequency regime.It is uncertain whether the low-frequency scaling of D(ω)~ω3 5 could be generalized to 4D glasses.Here,we conduct numerical simulation studies of excess modes at frequencies below the first phonon-like mode in 4D model glasses.It is found that the system size dependence of D(ω)below the first phonon-like mode varies with spatial dimensions:D(ω)increases in 2D glasses but decreases in 3D and 4D glasses as the system size increases.Furthermore,we demonstrate that the ω3.5 scaling,rather than the ω4 scaling,works in the lowest-frequency regime accessed in 4D glasses,regardless of interaction potentials and system sizes examined.Therefore,our findings in 4D glasses,combined with previous results in 2D and 3D glasses,suggest a common low-frequency scaling of D(ω)~ω3.5 below the first phonon-like mode across different spatial dimensions,which would inspire further theoretical studies.
