Universality in the vibrational spectra of single-component amorphous clusters.
We have numerically investigated the vibrational spectra of amorphous single-component clusters for several types of interactions among the particles. For all the potentials we have studied, we find that the density of states can be described, except at the two ends of the spectrum, by the same functional form to a very good approximation, and that the fluctuation properties of the spectra in this central region converge to those of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of random matrices with increasing system size. We conjecture that this scenario is true for a broad class of potentials.
