Liquid dynamics estimates of phonon spectral moments

چکیده
We calculate the logarithmic moment of the phonon frequency spectrum at a single density for 29 monatomic liquids using two methods, both suggested by Wallace’s liquid dynamics: The first method relies on liquid entropy data, the second on neutron scattering data in the crystal phase. Liquid dynamics predicts that for a class of elements called “normal melters,” including all 29 of these materials, the two estimates should closely match, and we find that they agree to within a few percent. We also perform the same calculations for 4 “anomalous melters,” for which we expect the two estimates to differ markedly; we find that they disagree by factors almost up to three. From this we conclude that the liquid entropy estimates of the logarithmic moment, applicable both to normal and anomalous melters, are trustworthy to a few percent, which makes them reliable for use in estimates of various liquid transport coefficients.

متن کاملComparison and evaluation of spectral energy methods for predicting phonon properties
Two frequency-domain methods for predicting phonon frequencies and lifetimes using the phonon spectral energy density are described. Both methods draw input from molecular dynamics simulations and lattice dynamics calculations, but differ in the form of the phonon spectral energy density. One phonon spectral energy density expression (referred to as Φ) can be formally derived from lattice dynam...
متن کاملSIGNLESS LAPLACIAN SPECTRAL MOMENTS OF GRAPHS AND ORDERING SOME GRAPHS WITH RESPECT TO THEM
Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph. Denote by $D(G)$ the diagonal matrix $diag(d_1,cdots,d_n)$, where $d_i$ is the degree of vertex $i$ and $A(G)$ the adjacency matrix of $G$. The signless Laplacianmatrix of $G$ is $Q(G) = D(G) + A(G)$ and the $k-$th signless Laplacian spectral moment of graph $G$ is defined as $T_k(G)=sum_{i=1}^{n}q_i^{k}$, $kgeqslant 0$, where $q_1$,$q_2$, $cdots$, $q_n$ ...
متن کاملCoupling between phonon-phonon and phonon-impurity scattering: A critical revisit of the spectral Matthiessen’s rule
The spectral Matthiessen’s rule is commonly used to calculate the total phonon scattering rate when multiple scattering mechanisms exist. Here we predict the spectral phonon relaxation time τ of defective bulk silicon using normal mode analysis based on molecular dynamics and show that the spectral Matthiessen’s rule is not accurate due to the neglect of the coupling between anharmonic phonon-p...
متن کاملReduction of spectral phonon relaxation times from suspended to supported graphene
We have performed molecular dynamics simulations with phonon spectral analysis to predict the mode-wise phonon relaxation times (RT) of suspended and supported graphene at room temperature, and the findings are consistent with recent optical measurements. For acoustic phonons, RTs reduce from up to 50 ps to less than 5 ps when graphene is put on silicon dioxide substrate. Similarly, optical pho...
