Abstract

The impact of anharmonicity on the vibrational entropy and heat capacity of ${UO}_{2}$ has been discovered from 10 to 1200 K using inelastic neutron-scattering measurements of the phonon density of states (PDOS). Small changes in the PDOS are observed from 10 to 295 K, with more noticeable changes appearing in the 750- and 1200-K data. The specific heat determined from the PDOS measurements is in agreement with macroscopic specific heat measurements, and the overall impact of nondilation anharmonicity on the specific heat has been shown to be less than 2%. An analysis of the phonon measurements shows that the softening of acoustic phonons with temperature is consistent with the quasiharmonic approximation. The optical phonons deviate from the quasiharmonic prediction, with the low-energy optical phonons between approximately 20 and 50 meV softening more than expected, while the higher-energy optical phonons between approximately 50 and 80 meV have no appreciable softening over the temperature range measured. The observation of a small anharmonic specific heat contribution has been demonstrated to be the result of relatively large energy-dependent anharmonic effects which have opposite sign, leading to a total contribution near zero.

Crystal field levels and magnetic anisotropy in the kagome compounds ${Nd}_{3} {Sb}_{3} {Mg}_{2} O_{14}$ , ${Nd}_{3} {Sb}_{3} {Zn}_{2} O_{14}$ , and $\Pr_{3} {Sb}_{3} {Mg}_{2} O_{14}$

Journal Article Scheie, A. ; Sanders, M. ; Krizan, J. ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, we report the crystal field levels of several newly discovered rare-earth kagome compounds: Nd ₃Sb ₃Mg ₂O ₁₄, Nd ₃Sb ₃Zn ₂O ₁₄, and Pr ₃Sb ₃Mg ₂O ₁₄. We determine the crystal electric field (CEF) Hamiltonian by fitting to neutron scattering data using a point charge Hamiltonian as an intermediate fitting step. The fitted Hamiltonians accurately reproduce bulk susceptibility measurements, and the results indicate easy-axis ground-state doublets for Nd ₃Sb ₃Mg ₂O ₁₄ and Nd ₃Sb ₃Zn ₂O ₁₄ and a singlet ground state for Pr ₃Sb ₃Mg ₂O ₁₄. These results provide the groundwork for future investigationsmore »« less

Bond-rearrangement and ionization mechanisms in the photo-double-ionization of simple hydrocarbons ( $C_{2} H_{4}$ , $C_{2} H_{3} F$ , and $1, 1 - C_{2} H_{2} F_{2}$ ) near and above threshold

Journal Article Gaire, B. ; Gatton, A. ; Wiegandt, F. ; ... - Physical Review A

We investigate bond-rearrangement driven by photo-double-ionization (PDI) near and above the double-ionization threshold in a sequence of carbon-carbon double-bonded hydrocarbon molecules: ethylene, fluoroethylene, and 1,1-difluoroethylene. We employ the kinematically complete cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy method to resolve all photo-double-ionization events leading to two-ion fragments. We observe changes in the branching ratios of different dissociative ionization channels depending on the presence of no, one, or two fluorine atoms. The role of the fluorine atom in the bond-rearrangement channels is intriguing, as evident by the reordering of the threshold energies of the PDI in the fluorinated molecules. These effects offermore »« less

Ternary chalcogenides $C s_{2} Z n_{3} S e_{4}$ and $C s_{2} Z n_{3} T e_{4}$ : Potential $p$ -type transparent conducting materials

Journal Article Shi, Hongliang ; Saparov, Bayrammurad ; Singh, David J. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Here we report prediction of two new ternary chalcogenides that can potentially be used as p-type transparent conductors along with experimental synthesis and initial characterization of these previously unknown compounds, Cs ₂Zn ₃Ch ₄ (Ch = Se, Te). In particular, the structures are predicted based on density functional calculations and confirmed by experiments. Phase diagrams, electronic structure, optical properties, and defect properties of Cs ₂Zn ₃Se ₄ and Cs ₂Zn ₃Te ₄ are calculated to assess the viability of these materials as p-type TCMs. Cs ₂Zn ₃Se ₄ and Cs ₂Zn ₃Te ₄, which are stable under ambient air, displaymore »« less

Structure-property relationship in layered $BaM n_{2} S b_{2}$ and $B a_{2} M n_{3} S b_{2} O_{2}$

Journal Article Zhang, Qiang ; Diao, Zhenyu ; Cao, Huibo ; ... - Physical Review B

Layered transition-metal compounds have received great attention owing to their physical properties. In this work, we present the structural, electronic, thermal, and magnetic properties of BaMn ₂Sb ₂ and Ba ₂Mn ₃Sb ₂O ₂ single crystals, both with the layered structure analogous to high-temperature Cu- and Fe-based superconductors. While the Mn moment in the MnSb ₄ tetrahedral environment forms a long-range G-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering in both BaMn ₂Sb ₂ (T _N1≈443K) and Ba ₂Mn ₃Sb ₂O ₂ (T _N1≈314K), a short-range AFM order is found in the intercalated MnO ₂ layer at a much lower temperature (T _N2≈60K) coexistingmore »« less
