Abstract: | A lattice dynamical model for hcp metals has been developed which considers ion-ion interaction as a five-neighbour central pair potential and electron-ion interaction in a modified form of Bhatia's model. Complete account of the equilibrium of the hcp lattice including the effect of electron pressure has been considered and as a consequence two equilibrium conditions, necessary for the hcp structure, have been obtained and used in the study. Phonon dispersion curves for four hcp metals, Be, Mg, Y and Ho have been computed for two symmetry directions and a good agreement has been obtained with the neutron data. The results have also been compared with the use of the same model but with a single condition, reported earlier and show in general a significant improvement. |
