Hydrogen local modes and phonon dispersion in LuD/sub 0. 19/ and Lu

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
The phonon dispersion of both pure Lu and ..cap alpha..-LuD/sub 0.19/ is determined along the symmetry directions GAMMA-A and GAMMA-K-M. The phonon energies are partly found to increase due to hydrogen absorption. At low temperatures no influence of deuterium ordering on the phonon frequencies can be detected. Furthermore, the hydrogen local-mode properties are investigated in ..cap alpha..-LuD/sub 0.19/. In accordance with recent results on ..cap alpha..-YH(D)/sub 0.18/, the potential at the hydrogen site is found to be very anisotropic.
