An expression is derived for the scattering of electrons by inhomogeneous strain fields in terms of the scattering of electrons by low frequency lattice vibrations, as deduced from the low temperature intrinsic thermal resistivity and the lattice thermal conductivity. This is applied to the scattering of electrons by dislocations and stacking faults. An expression for the scattering of lattice waves by stacking faults is also derived. The validity of these results is discussed.

Experimental values of the thermal resistivity for a number of elements, including copper, silver, gold, argon, germanium, silicon, antimony, and bismuth, are compared with theoretical values deduced from the anharmonic coupling between lattice vibrations. For copper-, silver-, and gold�rich alloys experimental and theoretical data for scattering of lattice waves by point defects are compared.

The low frequency infrared spectra from 450 to 75 cm−1 of seven oximes and five aldoximes have been recorded for pure samples and for dilute solutions in cyclohexane. An intense characteristic band is present in the solution spectra at 367 ± 10 cm−1. This characteristic band shifts to 275 ± 10 cm−1 in the spectra of the OD compounds. The 367 ± 10 cm−1 and 275 ± 10 cm−1 bands are assigned to OH and OD torsional vibrations. A comparison of the solution spectra with spectra of the solid samples indicated that the OH … N hydrogen bond stretch of oximes and aldoximes occurs in 300 to 200 cm−1 region. Strong bands also are present in 140 to 100 cm−1 region which are due to OH … N bending modes or perhaps lattice vibrations.

ABSTRACTThe onset of size effects in phonon-mediated thermal transport along a thin film at temperatures comparable or greater than the Debye temperature is analyzed theoretically. Assuming a quadratic frequency dependence of phonon relaxation rates in the low-frequency limit, a simple closed-form formula for the reduction of the in-plane thermal conductivity of thin films is derived. The effect scales as the square root of the film thickness, which leads to the prediction of measurable size-effects even at “macroscopic” distances ~100 μm. However, this prediction needs to be corrected to account for the deviation from the ω−2 dependence of phonon lifetimes at sub-THz frequencies due to the transition from Landau-Rumer to Akhiezer mechanism of phonon dissipation.

Abstract The second-order Raman phonon process for a multilevel spin system is shown to give a quadru-polar spin-lattice relaxation rate T1-1varying as T5 at very low temperatures. This relaxation rate for quadrupole spins is similar to the one discussed for a paramagnetic spin system having a multilevel ground state. The temperature dependence of T1 is discussed on the basis of some simplifying assumptions about the nature of the lattice vibrations in the Debye approximation. This type of relaxation process has been observed below 20 K in tetramethylammonium hydrogen bis-trichloroacetate for the 35Cl T1-1 . Below 20 K the NQR frequency in the same crystal reveals a T4 temperature dependence due to the induced modulations of the vibrational and librational coordinates by the low-frequency acoustic phonons.

Detailed measurements of the low-frequency Raman spectra of the crystals of [ZnPy2Cl2] and [ZnPy2Br2] at room temperature, where Py is the pyridine molecule, and the far-infrared spectrum of the crystal of [ZnPy2Cl2] at liquid nitrogen temperature have been made. The vibrational frequencies for the single molecule and for the complete crystal of these two complexes have been calculated and compared with the observed spectra, and the distribution of the potential energy of the normal modes has also been calculated to assist the refinement of the calculation and the interpretation of the spectra. Apparently, the skeletal Zn–ligand vibrations of the individual molecule couple with the lattice vibrations in the crystal, except for the normal modes at 326 cm−1 for [ZnPy2Cl2] and at 250 cm−1 for [ZnPy2Br2] which are dominated by the Zn–halogen stretching vibrations. Reasonably good Zn–ligand stretching force constants were obtained. The nature of the coordination bonds of these complexes has been discussed.
