Abstract

We present the results of low-temperature (∼5 to 20K) specific-heat measurements performed in numerous oxide glass systems. These results allow us to elucidate the impact of the system or component on the excess specific heat, which when plotted on Cp/T3 vs T appears as a broad band known as the boson peak (BP). By integrating our experimental results with the data of Richet [Physica B 404, 3799 (2009); J. Chem. Phys. 136, 034703 (2012)], we demonstrate a strong negative correlation between the BP amplitude and its maximum temperature. We also describe the BP characteristics of multicomponent systems based on different binary systems in silicate glasses.
