A B INITIO CALCULATION OF THE KC1 PHONON FREQUENCIES

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

We have calculated the phonon frequencies of KC1 along symmetry directions using an approach which is a combination of the frozen phonon and force constants methods. We also calculated Griineisen parameters for all modes at X and L points in the Brillouin zone. Finally, the slope of acoustic dispersion curves around zone center were used to calculate the three independent elastic coefficients c11, c44,c12 as well as the Bulk modulus. Our ab initio calculations are based on pseudopotential density functional theory within the local density approximation

Ab initio calculation of the SiC (100) surfaces phonon dispersion

In this work, we have calculated ab initio the vibrational modes and the phonon frequencies for the SiC (100) surfaces. Our results are in good agreement with the available experimental data whenever this comparison is possible: in fact, most of our obtained results are predictions. For the accepted models of the C-terminated surfaces in the c(2!2) reconstruction, while in the bridge-dimer mode...

Ab Initio Calculation of the (100) and (110) Surface Phonon Dispersion of GaAs and GaN

In this work, we have calculated ab initio the phonon dynamics of the Ga-rich GaAs (100) (1 × 1), GaAs (100) (2 × 1), GaN (100) (1 × 1), GaAs (110) and GaN (110) surfaces. Our results for the (100) surfaces show that, while the (2 × 1) reconstruction is characterized by dimer vibrations, the (1 × 1) reconstruction presents interesting features which is closely related to the reduced mass of the...

Anomalous Phonon-Vibration Frequencies in Metallic Ultrathin Films Studied by Resonant Acoustic-Phonon Spectroscopy and Ab-initio Calculations

The phonon frequencies of metallic ultrathin films were studied by the resonant acoustic-phonon spectroscopy using femtosecond pump-probe method. We excite and detect the acoustic-phonon resonances in the thin films thinner than 50 nm using the femtosecond light pulses. The pump light causes the phonon vibrations through the thermal expansion at the film surface. For the ultrathin films, the st...

Ab initio calculation of ideal strength and phonon instability of graphene under tension

Graphene-based sp2-carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and nanofibers can fail near their ideal strengths due to their exceedingly small dimensions. We have calculated the phonon spectra of graphene as a function of uniaxial tension by density functional perturbation theory to assess the first occurrence of phonon instability on the strain path, which controls the strength of a defec...
