Lattice dynamics of a disordered solid-solid interface

Lattice dynamics of solid C60.

The lattice dynamics of C60 has been studied first by means of group theory and then by diagonalizing the dynamical matrix for two recently proposed intermolecular potentials. The libron and phonon energies are calculated as a function of momentum along various symmetry directions with and without phonon–libron interactions. The effects of these interactions on the density of states are also di...

Anharmonic lattice dynamics of solid potassium

An intcrionic potential proposed by Dagcns, Rasolt, and Taylor has been used in classical computcrsimulation experiments on solid K at 162.5 and 311 K. Results for the dynamical structure factor S{gre) are compared with lattice-dynamical calculations employing the self-consistent harmonic approximation plus cubic anharmonic corrections. The lattice&ynamical calculations are in good accord with ...

Reflection and Transmission of Longitudinal Wave at Micropolar Viscoelastic Solid/Fluid Saturated Incompressible Porous Solid Interface

In this paper, the reflection and refraction of longitudinal wave from a plane surface separating a micropolar viscoelastic solid half space and a fluid saturated incompressible half space is studied. A longitudinal wave (P-wave) impinges obliquely at the interface. Amplitude ratios for various reflected and transmitted waves have been obtained. Then these amplitude ratios have been computed nu...

Atomic-scale dynamics of a two-dimensional gas-solid interface.

The interface between a two-dimensional (2D) molecular gas and a 2D molecular solid has been imaged with a low-temperature, ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscope. The solid consists of benzene molecules strongly bound to step edges on a Cu{111} surface. Benzene molecules on the Cu{111} terraces move freely as a 2D gas at 77 kelvin. Benzene molecules transiently occupy well-defined adso...
