This study aims to examine the applicability of nuclear inelastic scattering (NIS) and conventional Mössbauer spectroscopy for calibration of the frequency scale of ab initio calculated phonon density of states (PDOS) of iron ternary chalcogenides. NIS measurements are carried out on the quasi-one-dimensional ternary chalcogenide RbFeSe2 to obtain the partial PDOS of the iron atoms in the compound. We compare the experimental PDOS with our previous results on vibrational properties of RbFeSe2 obtained with density functional theory (DFT) ab initio calculations, conventional Mössbauer, and infra-red spectroscopies. The experimental PDOS measured by NIS is collated with the ab initio calculated one. The frequency correction factor for the ab initio results is determined as 1.077, in good agreement with value of 1.08 obtained previously from the temperature dependence of the Lamb–Mössbauer factor of the iron atoms in RbFeSe2. We conclude that nuclear inelastic scattering and temperature dependence of the Lamb–Mössbauer factor in conventional Mössbauer spectroscopy can be equally applied for evaluation of the frequency correction factor for ab initio calculated phonon density of iron of ternary chalcogenides.

AbstractThe ground-state α phase of plutonium has an extraordinary 16-atom per cell, monoclinic crystal structure defined by 20 parameters, including the cell dimensions, not dictated by the symmetry. The electronic, magnetic, and elastic properties of this complicated material have been predicted in the past but here we compute its phonon spectra. Employing a density-functional-theory (DFT) model, that is fully relativistic and accounts for orbital–orbital coupling (orbital polarization, OP), we determine the phonon density of states of α-plutonium and find good agreement with inelastic x-ray scattering. The calculated specific heat also compares very favorably with experiment. An analysis of the partial atom-projected phonon spectra suggests that atom type 8, that is located in a more open space of the structure, dominates the intensity at very high phonon frequencies. This feature of the model is essential for a good agreement with the experimental spectra. The satisfactory comparison between theory and experiment for the phonons and specific heat suggests that the DFT (+OP) approach is appropriate and accurate for α-plutonium.
