The phonon dispersion, temperature dependence of the Debye temperature, Debye-Waller factor, and Grüneisen parameter of potassium are calculated using a realistic lattice dynamical model. The model considers short range pairwise forces effective upto second neighbors and an improved electron ion interaction on the lines of Bhatia. An equilibrium condition, which preserves the crystal stability, is obtained. The theoretical results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental values.

Abstract Studies of the phonon dispersion, the temperature dependence of Debye-Waller factor, the Debye temperature, and the mean square displacement of α-iron and chromium have been made by means of a lattice dynamical model proposed by the authors. The model considers short range pairwise forces effective up to the second neighbours and electron-ion interactions on the lines of Bhatia using an appropriate value of the screening parameter. The volume force is aver­ aged over the whole Wigner-Seitz sphere. The ionic lattice is in equilibrium in a medium of electrons. The computed results compare well with experimental data.

Abstract A modified form of the non-central force model which takes account of the electron-ion inter­ action term of the Kreb's model in the Clark, Gazis and Wallis type angular forces is considered to calculate the Debye-Waller exponents at different temperatures for five fee metals: copper, silver, gold, aluminium and nickel. The results are compared with the available x-ray measurements in terms of the temperature parameter Y of the Debye-Waller factor, the Debye characteristic temperature ΘM and the mean square displacement of the atoms. The theoretical results are found to be in reasonably satisfactory agreement with the experimental values.

The main purpose of the Database on Rare Earths At Mons University (DREAM) is to provide the scientific community with updated spectroscopic parameters related to lanthanide atoms (Z = 57–71) in their lowest ionization stages. The radiative parameters (oscillator strengths and transitions probabilities) listed in the database have been obtained over the past 20 years by the Atomic Physics and Astrophysics group of Mons University, Belgium, thanks to a systematic and extensive use of the pseudo-relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method modified for taking core-polarization and core-penetration effects into account. Most of these theoretical results have been validated by the good agreement obtained when comparing computed radiative lifetimes and accurate experimental values measured by the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique. In the present paper, we report on the current status and developments of the database that gathers radiative parameters for more than 72,000 spectral lines in neutral, singly-, doubly-, and triply-ionized lanthanides.

The structure function of the vortex lattice of layered superconductor is calculated to one-loop order. Based on a phenomenological melting criterion concerning the Debye–Waller factor, we calculate the melting line of the vortex lattice, and compare our results to Monte Carlo simulation and experiment. We find that our results are in good agreement with the Monte Carlo results. Moreover, our analytic calculation of the melting line of BSCCO fits the experiment reasonably.

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.

The spectral parameters (energy levels, wavelengths, transition probabilities, line strengths and oscillator strengths) of resonance lines for Ba VIII, La IX and Ce X have been performed using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method, the contributions of quantum electrodynamics and Breit interactions correction are taken into considered. The calculated results of energy levels and wavelengths are in good agreement with experimental values and other calculation. The number of energy levels and wavelengths considered is larger than that of any other experiment values and other calculations. The transition probabilities, line strengths and oscillator strengths are also calculated where no other theoretical results and experimental values are available.

A model system of highly asymmetric polyelectrolyte with directional short-range attractive interactions was studied by canonical Monte Carlo computer simulations. Comparison of MC data with previously published theoretical results shows good agreement. For moderate values of binding energies, which matches those of molecular docking, a dynamic equilibrium between free and dimerized macroions is observed. Fraction of dimerized macroions depends on macroion concentration, binding energy magnitude, and on the valency of small counterions. Divalent counterions induce an effective attraction between macroions and enhance dimerization. This effect is most notable at low to moderate macroion concentrations.

The purpose of this work, investigation of radiation attenuation characteristics, such as mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ), molar extinction coefficient (ε), effective atomic number (Zeff), and electron density (NE), of isolated bacteria from soil samples taken from Diyarbakır in Turkey. The experiments were performed using a narrow beam geometry with the help of the a high-resolution Si(Li) detector and three different radioactive sources at 15 different photon energies. The ε, Zeff, and NE values for some bacteria isolated from soil, such as Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus simplex, Bacillus subtilis, and commercially purchased Geobacillus stearothermophilus bacterium, were obtained from the measured μ/ρ results in the energy range from 13.94 to 88.04 keV. The experimental values were checked with two different theoretical results and good agreement was observed among them. The results show that Bacillus simplex bacterium has the highest values of μ/ρ and Zeff and Bacillus subtilis bacterium has the biggest values of ε and NE among the present bacteria.

The phonon dispersion relations and the phonon frequency distribution function of fct indium have been deduced, for the first time, using a lattice dynamical model which expresses the atomic interactions in terms of central, angular, and volume forces. Six elastic constants, four zone boundary frequencies, and an equilibrium condition were used in the evaluation of the force constants. It is shown that this model is elastically consistent and conforms with the translational symmetry of the lattice; the phonon frequencies of indium deduced from it are in very good agreement with the experimental values of Reichardt and Smith and the theoretical values of Garrett and Swihart, but disagree with the theoretical values of Chulkov et al. as well as those of Gunton and Saunders at several wave vectors and polarizations. In addition the phonon frequency distribution curve obtained from this model is in overall agreement with those obtained from the electron tunnelling data, the inelastic scattering of neutrons as well as a pseudopotential model. The apparent characteristic features of these curves, the implications of the crystallographic equivalence between fct and bet lattices, and their relevance in the lattice dynamical study of indium are discussed.
