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.

Abstract: The paper examines the relationship between the macroscopic parameters, such as the Young's modulus in the Hooke's law, the sound speed and the Debye characteristic temperature, with the binding energy of an individual atom. A formula for calculating the elastic deformation modulus is proposed. A simple formula is obtained to calculate the sound speed in a metal rod. It is suggested that the Debay characteristic temperature is connected with the binding energy of the ion in the solid lattice.

The characteristic temperatures of III–V sphalerite semiconductors have been calculated by using the Reeber–McLachlan relation. These values do not follow the same trend as obtained for II–VI solids. However, the agreement with the Debye characteristic temperature is fair.

Anharmonic contributions to the bulk moduli of Ne and Ar are calculated for Lennard-Jones (m–6) potentials and compared with the experimental results at T = 0 °K. We consider direct anharmonic contributions to the bulk moduli and the anharmonic contributions via the use of Brown's (1966) anharmonic potential parameters. Excellent agreement is found with the experimental results of Peterson, Batchelder, and Simmons (1966) and Batchelder, Losee, and Simmons (1967).We also study the effect of the anharmonic parameters on the Debye characteristic temperature obtained from Cν. Improved agreement with the experimental results is found.
