Characteristic Temperatures

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.

Potential Parameters

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.

Direct Numerical Integration

The validity of Hill's formulas for the shear modulus of a polycrystalline cubic solid is examined by calculating the Debye characteristic temperature at 0 °K for a number of cubic metals using the measured elastic constants. The results are compared with calorimetric values and the numbers deduced from direct numerical integration of elastic data. Various methods give nearly similar results if the anisotropy of the metallic element is not excessively large.

Good Agreement

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.

A procedure for the calculation of the number of normal modes of a single crystal is proposed which takes an intermediate position between the methods of Debye and Born–von Karman. The method of Debye is extended to an anisotropic continuum, where the cutoff and dispersion phenomena, which are due to the lattice structure, are accounted for in a semiempirical way. It appears possible to define a finite number of characteristic temperatures (one for cubic crystals and at most three for crystals of low symmetry) independent of direction. This ensures a comparatively simple calculation from the phenomenological elastic constants of the crystal, as such retaining one of the pleasing features of Debye's theory, i.e., a straightforward correlation between thermal and elastic data.The method is applied to eight cubic monatomic crystals for which elastic data are available. The results provide some additional evidence to emphasize the significance of the dispersion of the Debye heat waves.An application to the hexagonal crystals of cadmium and zinc leads to results similar to those obtained by Grüneisen and Goens who produced with these crystals the first experimental evidence of the dispersion phenomenon using the concept of a characteristic temperature dependent on direction.In the last section the correlation between the elastic constants of single crystals and the corresponding quasi-isotropic materials is discussed and illustrated with data found in the literature. It is shown that the polycrystalline state is more "elastic" (sometimes very considerably) than the single crystal state. The consequences of this "boundary layer elasticity" for the calculation of θ values are discussed.
