The anomalous vibrational behaviour exhibited by non-crystalline materials - a peak in the vibrational density of states, and in the Raman spectrum (the boson peak) at low frequencies, and a peak in the heat capacity and a plateau in the thermal conductivity at low temperatures - is ascribed ta phonon localization associated with the strong scattering of phonons by density-fluctuation domains in the structure. Within such domains, short-range and medium-range arder is maintained, and outside them the material is structurally homogeneous and isotropie. This model can also explain the correlation between the boson-peak frequency and the position of the first sharp diffraction peak in the structure factor observed in a number of inorganie and polymerie amorphous solids.

The random matrix theory is applied to describe the vibrational properties of two-dimensional disordered systems with a large number of degrees of freedom. It is shown that the most significant mechanical properties of amorphous solids can be taken into account using the correlated Wishart ensemble. In this ensemble, an excess vibrational density of states over the Debye law is observed as a peak in the reduced density of states g(ω)/ω. Such a peak is known as the boson peak, which was observed in many experiments and numerical simulations for two-dimensional and three-dimensional disordered systems. It is shown that two-dimensional systems have a number of differences in the asymptotic behavior of the boson peak.
