Neutron scattering studies of the RENi2B2C (RE = Lu, Y, Ho, Er): Lattice dynamics
- Iowa State Univ., Ames, IA (United States)
The first chapter gives a brief overview of the system discussed in this dissertation. Chapters 2-5 and Appendix B of this dissertation consist of papers that are published, or have been submitted, which show experimental data regarding the phonon softening of LuNi2B2C. These papers have been removed and processed separately. Chapter 6 will contain a summary of the conclusions up to date. Appendix A will consist of a brief derivation of χ(q) which is talked about in the introduction of the dissertation. Appendix B will contain a Born-von Karman model fit to the experimental LuNi2B2C data and a comparison with experimental data. Appendix C will contain a brief summary of the work done on LuNi2B2C as well as a complete listing of experimental data taken on the crystals which may be needed later for theoretical models of this system. Appendix D will outline a brief introduction covering some of the field theory used in the theoretical work for this thesis.
