Abstract: | The lattice dynamics of compressed rare-gas crystals is theoretically investigated within the ab initio approach in the framework of the Tolpygo model, which explicitly includes the deformation of electron shells in the dipole approximation. The phonon frequencies of compressed rare-gas crystals are calculated with allowance made for the electron-phonon interaction at the mean-value points with the use of the dynamic matrix constructed with the ab initio short-range repulsive potential. The energy of zero-point vibrations and the heat capacity of compressed krypton and xenon face-centered cubic crystals are calculated in the harmonic approximation. The calculated temperature dependences of the specific heat capacity and the Debye temperature are in good agreement with the data available in the literature on the experiment at zero pressure and the results of the calculations within the density-functional theory for all pressures. The quantum effects, in particular, the energies E zp of zero-point vibrations for krypton and xenon crystals, are investigated at different pressures. |
