It was recently shown that different simple models of glass formers with binary interactions
define a universality class in terms of the density of states of their quasilocalized low-
frequency modes. Explicitly, once the hybridization with standard Debye (extended) modes
is avoided, a number of such models exhibit a universal density of states, depending on the
mode frequencies as D (ω)∼ ω 4. It is unknown, however, how wide this universality class

It was recently shown that different simple models of glass formers with binary interactions define a universality class in terms of the density of states of their quasilocalized low-frequency modes. Explicitly, once the hybridization with standard Debye (extended) modes is avoided, a number of such models exhibit a universal density of states, depending on the mode frequencies as . It is unknown, however, how wide this universality class is, and whether it also pertains to more realistic models of glass formers. To address this issue we present analysis of the quasilocalized modes in silica, a network glass that has both binary and ternary interactions. We conclude that in three dimensions silica exhibits the very same frequency dependence at low frequencies, suggesting that this universal form is a generic consequence of amorphous glassiness.
