Abstract: | The density of phonon states in amorphous germanium and silicon is calculated by statistically averaging the crystalline phonon density of states according to the radial distribution function. A simple rigid ion model is used to calculate the density of phonon states at various lattice spacings. The appropriate model parameters are obtained from the pressure dependent elastic constants and the Raman frequency. The calculated results compare favorably to experimental data obtained by infrared and Raman scattering and the results of other theoretical calculations. |
