Abstract
We report unexpectedly strong variations in the quasielastic scattering (QES) intensity in glasses under pressure. Analysis of the data reveals strong correlations between pressure-induced changes in the QES intensity and the intensity of the boson peak. This observation emphasizes a direct relationship between these two components of the fast dynamics. In addition, we observe changes of the QES spectral shape that can be interpreted as pressure-induced variations in the underlying energy landscape.
