Lattice dynamics of AIH{sub 3} and AID{sub 3} examined by inelastic neutron scattering.
Abstract
Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of trigonal {alpha}-AlH{sub 3} and {alpha}-AlD{sub 3} have been measured in a wide range (5-150 meV) of energy transfers with a much better statistical accuracy than previously using the inverted-geometry NERA-PR spectrometer at JINR, Dubna. The studied energy interval covers the range of low-frequency lattice vibrations and a broad band of optical H vibrations. By using a direct-geometry HRMECS spectrometer at ANL, Argonne, the AlH{sub 3} hydride was also examined by INS at energy transfers up to 315 meV in the regime of small momentum transfers. This significantly enhanced the contribution from the one-phonon neutron scattering and allowed an observation and accurate examination of one more, high-energy band of optical H vibrations predicted theoretically [C. Wolverton et al., Phys. Rev. B 69, 144109 (2004)]. Combining the obtained experimental data, the entire spectrum of phonon density of states was reconstructed for both {alpha}-AlH{sub 3} and {alpha}-AlD{sub 3}.

Inelastic neutron scattering and lattice-dynamics studies of almandine Fe{sub 3}Al{sub 2}Si{sub 3}O{sub 12}
This paper reports detailed lattice dynamical studies involving experimental inelastic neutron-scattering measurements and theoretical shell model calculations of the vibrational and thermodynamic properties of the garnet mineral almandine Fe{sub 3}Al{sub 2}Si{sub 3}O{sub 12}. Inelastic neutron-scattering studies using the time-of-flight technique provide the measurement of the phonon density of states (DOS) of almandine, which have been interpreted based on the model calculations. The calculated DOS is in good agreement with the inelastic neutron-scattering data and has been used to compute various macroscopic properties like the specific heat, thermal expansion, equation of state, and mean-square atomic displacements.

Lattice dynamics of semiconducting, metallic, and superconducting Ba{sub 1-x}K{sub x}BiO{sub 3} studied by inelastic neutron scattering
Lattice dynamics of Ba{sub 1-x}K{sub x}BiO{sub 3} were studied using inelastic neutron scattering. Compositions ranging from semiconducting, metallic, and superconducting were studied. Mathematical models were used to assign the observed modes. The relationship between oxygen modes and composition was analyzed. -
Lattice dynamics, Raman spectroscopy, and inelastic neutron scattering of orthoenstatite Mg{sub 2}Si{sub 2}O{sub 6}
Enstatite Mg{sub 2}Si{sub 2}O{sub 6} is an important rock-forming silicate of the pyroxene group. It exists in several polymorphs, the structures of which are characterized by double [MgO{sub 6}] octahedral bands and single silicate chains. This paper reports lattice-dynamical rigid-ion model calculations and polarized Raman and inelastic-neutron-scattering measurements of orthoenstatite Mg{sub 2}Si{sub 2}O{sub 6}, which is orthorhombic (Pbca) with 80 atoms in the unit cell. The calculated elastic constants, phonon frequencies, density of states, and specific heat are in good agreement with the experimental data. The optical-phonon branches along the {Sigma} and {Delta} directions are relatively flat without significant dispersion,more »
