A phenomenological model that considers interaction between ions in terms of two-body (central) and three-body (unpaired) forces and evaluates the effect of electron–ion interaction through a screened coulomb potential is developed for studying the lattice dynamics of thorium. The model satisfies the symmetry requirement of a lattice and fulfils the condition of invariance under rigid body rotation. Computed phonon dispersion relations and (θD – T) curve for thorium are in reasonably good agreement with the corresponding experimental data.

AbstractA phenomenological lattice dynamics model has been developed that describes how strain affects phonon frequencies and elastic constants in Group IV and III-V semiconductor thin films and strained layers. Using this model, the phonon dispersion relations for strained-layer heterostructures of Ge and GaAs on Si have been obtained in the quasiharmonic approximation. This model uses available experimental data and can predict the effect of arbitrary strains on thin films.

In this paper, the non-leptonic three-body decays [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are studied by introducing two-meson distribution amplitude for the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] pairs in naive and QCD factorization (QCDF) approaches, such that the analysis is simplified into quasi-two body decays. By considering that the vector meson is being ejected in factorization, the resonant and non-resonant contributions are analyzed by using intermediate mesons in Breit–Wigner resonance formalism and the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HMChPT), respectively. The calculated values of the resonant and non-resonant branching ratio of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decay modes are compared with the experimental data. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the non-resonant contributions are about 70–80% of experimental data, for which the total results by considering resonant contributions are in good agreement with the experiment.

The lattice dynamics of the high Tc superconductor ErBa2Cu307 have been investigated in detail with a modified three-body force shell model. The model accounts for the effect of many-body interactions in the lattice potential. The aim of the present work is to treat the various interactions between the ions in generalised way without making them numerically equal. The values of the phonon frequencies calculated at the zone centre by this new approach are in good agreement with the available Raman and infrared data.

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.

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 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.

Phonon dispersion curves for the normal modes of vibration in chromium and tantalum are calculated along the symmetry directions [100], [110] and [111] using the five force-constant model of Behari and Tripathi (1970a). The results are compared with experimental values obtained from inelastic neutron spectroscopy and reasonably good agreement is found.

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.
