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.

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.

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.

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.

A simple shell model theory has been developed for the study of lattice dynamics of monatomic crystals. The phonon dispersion curves and variations of heat capacities with temperature are reported for solidified krypton and argon. The model parameters have been evaluated using the recent experimental values of elastic constants, polarizability of atoms, and a zone boundary frequency in each case. The zero point effects are also included by expressing the zero point energy in terms of the interatomic potential. The agreement between the theoretical and experimental results is found to improve appreciably by incorporating polarizability of atoms.

Least Squares Fit

We report shell model based calculations of the lattice dynamics of YBa2Cu306 and YBa2Cu307. Two models are proposed for YBa2Cu306, the model parameters being obtained by a least squares fit to recent neutron scattering results. The parameters obtained are then used, with modification, to model the lattice dynamics of YBa2Cu307. Since this material has significant carrier concentration, even in the normal state we have used both screened and unscreened versions of the shell model. The screened model gives a better overall description of the lattice dynamics of YBa2Cu307. The phonon dispersion curves along the symmetry directions and the weighted phonon density of states for both YBa2Cu306 and YBa2Cu307 are presented.

The static electron gas screening function calculated by Geldart and Taylor has been used in conjunction with the theory of Vosko, Taylor, and Keech to calculate the phonon dispersion curves, the effective calorimetric and X-ray Debye temperatures, and moments of the phonon frequency distribution function of sodium. The results which compare very favorably with those obtained using other screening functions give good agreement with experiment, indicating that the new screening function is reasonably adequate for calculations in sodium.

The phonon dispersion curves for sodium and potassium have been calculated using the one OPW (orthogonalized plane wave) bare electron matrix elements and the dielectric function of Vashishta and Singwi. Results are compared with experimental results as well as with similar calculations using the dielectric function of Geldart and Taylor. It is found that the screening function of Vashishta and Singwi gives at least as good an agreement with experimental values as obtained from the screening function of Geldart and Taylor. The interionic potentials for these metals have also been calculated and compared with similar calculations done previously. The reason for the appreciable difference between the potentials is discussed.

Phonon Dispersion Curves

A phenomenological one-parameter model potential that includes sp-d hybridization and core--core exchange contributions is used to calculate the phonon dispersion curves in the lattice dynamics of the body-centered cubic alkaline-earth metal, barium. There is good overall agreement between theory and experiment, and in particular, in the [xi00] direction we obtained frequencies of the transverse dispersion curves that are lower than those of the longitudinal dispersion curves along the [100] symmetry direction thereby restoring the normal ordering of the branches.PACS Nos.: 63.20D
