2023 Revealing the relationship between liquid fragility and medium-range order in silicate glasses
1992 A Unified Model for the Low-Energy Vibrational Behaviour of Amorphous Solids
... the phonon scattering caused by intrinsic density fluctuation domains in the structure, within which short- and medium-range
order is maintained and beyond which the material is structurally isotropic and homogeneous.
Phonon localization occurs when the mean-free path is comparable to the size of the domains

2009 Monaco-Giordano Breakdown of the Debye approximation for the acoustic modes with nanometric wavelengths in glasses
we show that in glasses the structural disorder undermines the Debye model in a subtle way: The elastic continuum approximation for the
acoustic excitations breaks down abruptly on the mesoscopic,** medium-range-order length scale of 10 interatomic spacings, where it still works well for the corresponding crystalline systems**
