Abstract

Low frequency quasi-localized modes of amorphous glasses appear to exhibit universal density of states, depending on the frequencies as $D(\omega) \sim \omega^4$. To date various models of glass formers with short range binary interaction, and network glasses with both binary and ternary interactions, were shown to conform with this law. In this paper we examine granular amorphous solids with long-range electrostatic interactions, and find that they exhibit the same law. To rationalize this wide universality class we return to a model proposed by Gurevich, Parshin and Schober (GPS) and analyze its predictions for interaction laws with varying spatial decay, exploring this wider than expected universality class. Numerical and analytic results are provided for both the actual system with long range interaction and for the GPS model.
