The existence of an epitaxially stabilized tetragonal-like (“T -like”) monoclinic phase in BiFeO 3 thin films with high levels of compressive strain has been reported recently. While their structural and ferroelectric properties are different from those of rhombohedral-like (“R-like”) films with lower levels of strain, little information exists on magnetic properties. In this study we have applied a short range force constant model by using normal coordinates to investigate the Raman and the infrared wavenumbers in tetragonal BiFeO 3 having space group P4mm (C4v1). The calculation of zone center phonons has been made by using three stretching and six bending force constants. The calculated Raman and infrared wavenumbers are in very good agreement with the observed ones. The potential energy distribution has also been investigated for determining the significance of contribution from each force constant toward the Raman and the infrared wavenumbers.

A short-range force constant model has been applied in investigating the Raman and infrared modes in insulating Cs2HgCl4 in orthorhombic phase having space group Pnam using normal coordinate analysis. Calculations on zone centre phonons have been made with twelve stretching and three bending force constants. The calculated Raman and infrared wave numbers are in good agreement with the available experimental results. The potential energy distribution has also been investigated for determining the significance of contribution from each force constant towards the Raman and the infrared wave numbers.

The vibrational spectra of the cooperite type compounds PdO and PtS (space group P42/mmc - D4h9, Z = 2) are analyzed. Good agreement between experimental and calculated lattice vibration frequencies is obtained using a force field which includes short-range force constants only. This demonstrates a highly covalent bonding character of the cooperites.

An empirical formula which has been shown to give good values for ring bending strain in small rings has been applied to infrared bending vibrations. The derived dynamics are of a ?pendulum? character, and reasonable agreement is obtained in calculating the C-C-C bending force constant from the empirical formula constant. Resultant anharmonicities are calculated from the ?pendulum? dynamics, and good agreement is obtained with experimentally determined levels up to the 060 level of CO2 and 040 for HCN.

Single-crystal Raman spectra at 77 K in the 80–3500 cm−1 range are reported for CaCl2 · 6H2O(D2O) and SrCl2 · 6H2O(D2O). Excellent fits to the experimental spectra were obtained with the use of a thirteen-parameter force field based on the rigid-ion model supplemented with stretching and bending force constants for the water molecules and selected short-range force constants in the Bravais cell. The libration frequencies of both the bridging (four-coordinate) and the terminal (three-coordinate) water molecules were found to depend almost exclusively on their partial charges.

The macroscopic mechanical behavior of open-porous cellular materials is dictated by the geometric and material properties of their microscopic cell walls. The overall compressive response of such materials is divided into three regimes, namely, the linear elastic, plateau and densification. In this paper, a constitutive model is presented, which captures not only the linear elastic regime and the subsequent pore-collapse, but is also shown to be capable of capturing the hardening upon the densification of the network. Here, the network is considered to be made up of idealized square-shaped cells, whose cell walls undergo bending and buckling under compression. Depending on the choice of damage criterion, viz. elastic buckling or irreversible bending, the cell walls collapse. These collapsed cells are then assumed to behave as nonlinear springs, acting as a foundation to the elastic network of active open cells. To this end, the network is decomposed into an active network and a collapsed one. The compressive strain at the onset of densification is then shown to be quantified by the point of intersection of the two network stress-strain curves. A parameter sensitivity analysis is presented to demonstrate the range of different material characteristics that the model is capable of capturing. The proposed constitutive model is further validated against two different types of nanoporous materials and shows good agreement.
