The lattice dynamics of cuprous halides have been thoroughly investigated by means of an 8-parameter bond-bending force model (BBFM), recently developed and applied successfully to study phonons in various II–VI and III–V compound semiconductors having zinc-blende (ZB) structure. The application of BBFM is made to calculate the phonon dispersion relations, phonon density of states, and temperature variation of the Debye characteristic temperature [Formula: see text] of CuCl, CuBr, and CuI. The room-temperature neutron scattering measurements for phonon dispersion curves along three principal symmetry directions and calorimetric experimental data for the Debye characteristic temperature have been used to check the validity of BBFM for the three crystals. The overall good agreement between theoretical and experimental results supports its use as an appropriate model for the dynamical description of ZB crystals.

An eight-parameter bond-bending force model (BBFM), recently developed by us for zinc-blende (ZB) structure, has been used to study the lattice dynamics of other compounds of the II–VI and III–V groups. The model parameters were calculated using six critical point phonon frequencies, two elastic constants, and the lattice equilibrium condition. Phonon dispersion curves, phonon density of states, and Debye-characteristic temperatures have been calculated. The comparison of theoretical and the available experimental results reveals a fairly good agreement. The merits and demerits of the present model have been discussed in full.

Lattice dynamics of Si has been investigated by using a Urey-Bradley Valence Force Field (UVFF) model which is a phenomenological model. In this model following interactions are taken into account: (i) the central force due to bond-stretching (ii) the angular force due to bond bending (iii) central force between non-bonded atoms (iv) the force due to interaction of one internal co-ordinate to adjacent internal coordinate. Calculated results of phonon dispersion curves, Debye Characteristic temperature, microscopic elastic constants and Bulk modulus of Si are compared with experimental results giving fairly good agreement.

We have presented a lattice dynamical calculation of phonon dispersion curves and one-phonon density of states for the high-T c superconducting MBa 2 Cu 3 O x (M=Y, Gd : x=7, 6) compounds. The model we used is in the framework of a rigid-ion model which includes long-range Coulomb potential and a short-range overlap. The results of calculation give quite good agreement with the available Raman and infrared data, and the measurements of phonon density of states. These results therefore can serve as a guide for further experimental investigations of the phonon properties in M-Ba-Cu-O (M=rare earth atom) system.

Good Agreement

Far-infrared absorption in the III–V compound semiconductors InSb, InAs, and GaAs has been measured using a Fourier transform spectrometer. The high-resolution spectra of the three materials were found to be very similar. Features on the spectra were assigned to two-phonon sum and difference processes with the aid of two-phonon density-of-states curves for InSb and GaAs calculated from a shell model fit to phonon dispersion curves. Interpretation of the spectrum of InAs was possible because of its similarity to that of InSb and GaAs. The frequencies of phonons at certain points in the Brillouin zone of InSb and GaAs determined from the mode assignments to the infrared spectra were in good agreement with previous measurements by inelastic neutron scattering and Raman scattering.

Atomistic simulations of phonon dispersion for body-centred cubic alkali metals were carried out using the modified analytic embedded atom potentials. The expressions for atomic force constants are derived, the cohesive energy and elastic constants are calculated, and the phonon dispersion curves of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs are calculated along five principal symmetry directions. The calculated results are in good agreement with the available experiments. For all of the five alkali metals, in the same direction, a similar phonon dispersion curve is obtained in spite of the successive phonon frequency decreases for Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs, which may be related to the atom mass increases or the cohesive energy decreases.

AbstractThe interaction between phonons and 4f electrons, which is forming a new quantum state (quasi-bound state) beyond Born-Oppenheimer approximation, is very prominent and lattice dynamics plays here a key role. There is only a small number of compounds in which the experimental observation suggest such a scenario. One of these compounds is CePd2Al2. Here the study of phonon dispersion curves of (Ce,La)Pd2Al2 at 1.5, 7.5, 80 and 300 K is presented. The inelastic X-ray scattering technique was used for mapping the phonon modes at X and Z points as well as in Λ and Δ directions, where the symmetry analysis of phonon modes was performed. The measured spectra are compared with the theoretical calculation, showing very good agreement. The measurements were performed in several Brillouin zones allowing the reconstruction of phonon dispersion curves. The results are discussed with respect to the magneto-elastic interaction and are compared with other cerium compounds. The phonon mode symmetry A1g was found to be unaffected by the interaction, which is in contrast to previous assumptions.

Rigid Ion Model

The phonon dispersion curves of α- LiIO 3, which exhibit a characteristic molecular crystal behaviour, are calculated on the basis of a modified rigid-ion model in which a Born-Mayer potential is used for short-range repulsive interactions between Li ions and [Formula: see text] groups and a central force constant model is used for internal interactions in the [Formula: see text] group. The computed phonon frequencies are in good agreement with those of Raman, infrared and neutron measurements. The calculations show a strong mixing of the pre-normal modes given by Crettez et al.,4 therefore indicating that the long-range Coulomb force may change greatly the assignments previously obtained from a force-field model.

Phonon Dispersion Relations

Phonon dispersion curves for the normal modes of vibration in chromium and tantalum are calculated along the symmetry directions [100], [110] and [111] using the five force-constant model of Behari and Tripathi (1970a). The results are compared with experimental values obtained from inelastic neutron spectroscopy and reasonably good agreement is found.

Thermal vibrations destroy the perfect crystalline periodicity generally assumed by dynamical diffraction theories. This can lead to some difficulty in deriving the temperature dependence of X-ray reflectivity from otherwise perfect crystals. This difficulty is overcome here in numerical simulations based on the extended Darwin theory, which does not require periodicity. Using Si and Ge as model materials, it is shown how to map the lattice vibrations derived from measured phonon dispersion curves onto a suitable Darwin model. Good agreement is observed with the usual Debye–Waller behavior predicted by standard theories, except at high temperatures for high-order reflections. These deviations are discussed in terms of a possible breakdown of the ergodic hypothesis for X-ray diffraction.
