Direct mapping of phonon dispersion relations in copper by momentum-resolved x-ray calorimetry.

چکیده
We have developed a new method of mapping phonon dispersion relations based on momentum-resolved x-ray calorimetry. X-ray scattering intensities are measured at selected points in reciprocal space with suitably chosen polarization configurations; the thermal part of the scattering intensity is extracted by scanning the temperature of the sample. The intensity variations, governed by the phonon populations, are analyzed to yield the energies of the phonons. This method is applied to copper. With high-order effects under control, the results are in excellent agreement with the known phonon dispersion relations.

متن کاملTheory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures
A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...
متن کاملStable atomic structure of NiTi austenite
Nitinol (NiTi), the most widely used shape-memory alloy, exhibits an austenite phase that has yet to be identified. The usually assumed austenitic structure is cubic B2, which has imaginary phonon modes, hence it is unstable. We suggest a stable austenitic structure that " on average " has B2 symmetry (observed by x-ray and neutron diffraction), but it exhibits finite atomic displacements from ...
متن کاملFourier-transform inelastic X-ray scattering from time- and momentum-dependent phonon--phonon correlations
The macroscopic characteristics of a material are determined by its elementary excitations, which dictate the response of the system to external stimuli. The spectrum of excitations is related to fluctuations in the density–density correlations and is typically measured through frequency-domain neutron1 or X-ray2–4 scattering. Time-domain measurements of these correlations could yield a more di...
متن کاملEvaluation of x-ray Brillouin scattering data.
Making use of the classical second-moment sum rule, it is possible to convert a series of constant-Q x-ray Brillouin scattering scans (Q momentum transfer) into a series of constant frequency scans over the measured Q range. The method is applied to literature results for the longitudinal phonon dispersion in several glass formers. The constant frequency scans are well fitted in terms of a Q-in...
