In this paper, we study the phonon thermal properties of a ladder nanostructure in harmonic approximation. We present a model consisting of two infinite chains with different masses. Then, we investigate the effect of different masses on the phonon spectrum. Moreover, as a specific case, in the absence of the second neighbor interaction, we calculate the phonon density of states/modes. Finally...

Single crystals of Ba1-xKxBiO3 compound for 0 < x <0.6 from insulator to superconducting region have been grown by electrochemical method. The crystals have been characterized by powder x-ray diffraction and Laue x-ray to determine the crystal structure, formed phases and potassium concentration. Inelastic x-ray scattering spectrum of the crystals has been studied to investigate the phonon pro...

In this paper, we study the phonon and thermal properties of a nanocrystal by using transfer matrix method in the harmonic approximation. The considered system is a mass-spring nanocrystal with a square cross section. At first, for the ideal case, we obtain the phonon spectrum with free boundary conditions. Then we calculate some phonon transport properties of this system, namely, the phonon de...

 In this paper, we investigate the phonon transmission coefficient of a mass-spring in the presence of Kohn interaction by using Green’s function method within the harmonic approximation. This system is embedded between two simple phononic leads including only the nearest neighbor interactions. The results show that the presence of Kohn and the nearest neighbor interactions in the center wire m...

The results show that t...

In this paper, the phonon, dynamic and thermal properties of indium nitride in two phases are investigated. The calculations are performed using the pseudopotantial method in the framework of density functional theory and by using the quantum-espresso Package. In the calculations, the exchange-correlation terms of LDA, GGA and PBE0 approximation are used. Investigation of phononic  properties s...
