We describe the preparation and characterization of a glassy form of the moderately good glassformer PbGeO3, by mechanical damage, and compare its properties with those of the normal melt-quenched glass and the crystal. The damage-formed glass exhibits a DSC thermogram strikingly similar to that of a hyperquenched glass, implying that it forms high on the energy landscape. The final glass transition endotherm occurs within 4 K (0.006Tg) of that of the melt-quenched glass, but crystallization occurs at a lower temperature, as if pre-nucleated. In particular, we have studied the low frequency vibrational dynamics of the alternatively prepared amorphous states in the boson peak region, and find the damage-formed glass boson peak to be almost identical in shape to, but more intense than, that of the normal melt-formed glass, as previously found for hyperquenched glasses. In view of the quite different preparation procedures, this similarity would seem to eliminate equilibrium liquid clusters as a source of the boson peak vibrations, but leaves plausible a connection to force constant fluctuations or to specific vitreous state defects.
