Inelastic neutron scattering measurements were carried out to determine the phonon density of states of ZnSe and interpreted with lattice dynamical computations (ab initio as well as a potential model). Calculations are also reported for other II-VI compounds, ZnTe and ZnS. Vibrational (phonon spectra and Grüneisen parameters), and thermal (negative thermal expansion and non-Debye specific heat) properties have been calculated and found to be in good agreement with available experimental data. This model has been further employed to study the pressure-induced solid-solid phase transitions exhibited by these compounds and the results have been compared with experimental data. Total energy calculations for zincblende and SC16 phases of ZnSe were carried out employing the pseudopotential approach under the local density approximation (LDA) as well as the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The density functional perturbation theory is applied to study the vibrational properties of the zincblende and SC16 phases of ZnSe. An investigation of the pressure dependence of the phonon frequencies shows that the existence of the (experimentally undetected) SC16 phase as a thermodynamically stable high pressure phase is impeded due to dynamical instabilities. A detailed investigation of the polarization of phonons of different energies for the various phases of these compounds indicates that in the case of the zincblende phase the low energy modes are librational, while in the rocksalt phase the low energy modes are bending modes. Further, in ZnTe the low energy bending modes display a larger amplitude of bending than that in ZnSe and ZnS. 相似文献

The compound Ag2O undergoes large and isotropic negative thermal expansion over 0–500 K. We report temperature dependent inelastic neutron scattering measurements and ab-initio calculations of the phonon spectrum. The temperature dependence of the experimental phonon spectrum shows strong anharmonic nature of phonon modes of energy around 2.4 meV. The ab-initio calculations reveal that the maximum negative Grüneisen parameter, which is a measure of the relevant anharmonicity, occurs for the transverse phonon modes that involve bending motions of the Ag4O tetrahedra. The thermal expansion is evaluated from the ab-initio calculation of the pressure dependence of the phonon modes, and found in good agreement with available experimental data. 相似文献

We report here measurements of phonon spectrum and lattice dynamical calculations for GaPO4. The measurements in low-cristobalite phase of GaPO4 are carried out using high-resolution medium-energy chopper spectrometer at ANL, USA in the energy transfer range 0–160 meV.
Semiempirical interatomic potential in GaPO4, previously determined using ab-initio calculations have been widely used in studying the phase transitions among various
polymorphs. The calculated phonon spectrum using the available potential show fair agreement with the experimental data. However,
the agreement between the two is improved by including the polarisability of the oxygen atoms in the framework of the shell
model. The lattice dynamical models are also exploited for calculations of various thermodynamic properties of GaPO4. 相似文献

A national facility for neutron beam research is operated at the research reactor Dhruva at Trombay in India. The research
activities involve various nanoscale structural, dynamical and magnetic investigations on materials of scientific interest
and technological importance. Thermal neutron has certain special properties that enable, e.g., selective viewing of parts
of an organic molecule, hydrogen or water in materials, investigations on minerals and ceramics, and microscopic and mesoscopic
characterization of bulk samples. The national facility comprises of eight neutron-scattering spectrometers in the reactor
hall, and another four spectrometers in the neutron-guide laboratory. In addition, a neutron radiography facility and a detector
development laboratory are located at APSARA reactor. All the instruments including the detectors and electronics have been
developed within BARC. A new powder diffractometer (PD-3) is being developed by UGC-DAE-CSR. The national facility is utilized
in collaboration with various universities and other institutions. 相似文献

We present a detailed account of an inelastic neutron scattering study of the intermolecular vibrations in solid C60 above and below the structural phase transformation. Assignment of the observed phonon peaks to modes of translational and librational character is discussed on the basis of lattice dynamical calculations using phenomenological intermolecular potentials. A new bond charge model is presented which reproduces the observed phonon branches very well. However, the apparently small influence of the orientational disorder on the librational excitations remains to be understood. 相似文献

We report in situ x-ray diffraction studies in tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) at high pressure using diamond anvil cell (DAC) at Elettra synchrotron source, Trieste, Italy. Experiments were performed with both the polymorphic phases (monoclinic and cubic) of TCNE as the starting phase. While starting with monoclinic (the high temperature stable) TCNE, it was found that the Bragg peaks get broadened with increase of pressure and above 5 GPa only few broad peaks remained to be observed. On release of pressure from 6.4 GPa, when the sample started turning black, the diffraction pattern at ambient pressure corresponds to cubic, the other crystalline phase of TCNE. Results reconfirm the monoclinic to cubic transition at high pressure but via an intermediate ‘disordered’ phase. This settles a number of conflicting issues. TCNE represents only system, which undergoes transition from one crystalline to another crystalline phase via a ‘disordered’ metastable phase at high pressure. When the starting phase was cubic (the low temperature stable) no apparent phase transition was observed up to 10.8 GPa. 相似文献

Study of diffusivity of acetylene adsorbed in Na-Y zeolite by quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements at temperatures
of 300, 325 and 350 K is reported. A model in which the acetylene molecules undergo random-walk diffusion characterized by
a Gaussian distribution of jump lengths inside zeolite cages describes the data consistently. The diffusion constant, residence
time between jumps and root mean square jump length are determined. 相似文献
