Anharmonic decay rates are calculated for a realistic atomic model of amorphous silicon. The results show that the vibrational states decay on picosecond timescales and follow the two-mode density of states, similar to crystalline silicon,…

We have investigated the vibrational density of states (VDOS) of a thin Cu nanowire with $<100>$ axial orientation and considered the effect of axial strain. The VDOS are calculated using a real space Green's function approach with the…

We study theoretically spectrum of radial vibrational modes in composite metal nanostructures such as bimetallic core-shell particles and metal nanoshells with dielectric core in an environment. We calculate frequencies and damping rates of…

We study the spectrum of vibrational modes in metal nanoparticles with a dielectric core. Vibrational modes are excited by the rapid heating of the particle lattice that takes place after laser excitation, and can be monitored by means of…

We have studied the normal modes of hydrogenated and oxidized silicon nanocrystals, namely SiH4 (silan), H2SiO (silanon), Si10H16 and Si10H14O. The small clusters (SiH4 and H2SiO) have been used for convergence tests and their bondlengths…

The vibrational density of states (VDOS) of nanoclusters and nanocrystalline materials are derived from molecular-dynamics simulations using empirical tight-binding potentials. The results show that the VDOS inside nanoclusters can be…

This study presents a comprehensive computational investigation of the vibration density of states (VDOS) of a silica nanopore, systematically evaluating a range of force fields against inelastic neutron scattering results. We analyze the…

Vibrational density of states of a classical two-dimensional electron system obtained with a molecular-dynamics simulation is shown to have a peak in both solid and liquid phases. From an exact diagonalisation of the dynamical matrix, the…

We have developed a formulation of density functional perturbation theory for the calculation of vibrational frequencies in molecules and solids, which uses numerical atomic orbitals as a basis set for the electronic states. The (harmonic)…

The possible normal modes of vibration of a nearly spherical virus particle are discussed. Two simple models for the particle are treated, a liquid drop model and an elastic sphere model. Some estimates for the lowest vibrational frequency…

We study the motion of strongly inelastic particles in a narrow vibrating tube using molecular dynamics simulation. At low frequency of the vibration, we observe qualitative changes of the motion, as the depth of the pile increases. The…

We calculate the vibrational density-of-states in an insulating nanoparticle that is in weak mechanical contact with a semi-infinite substrate. The work is motivated by a recent experiment by Yang et al., where the low-energy phonon…

Since it is now possible to record vibrational spectra at nanometer scales in the electron microscope it is of interest to explore whether defects such as dislocations or grain boundaries will result in measurable changes of the spectra.…

The vibrational properties of three sodosilicate glasses have been investigated in the framework of Density Functional Theory. The pure vibrational density of states has been calculated for all systems and the different vibrational modes…

Numerical studies of amorphous silicon in harmonic approximation show that the highest 3.5% of vibrational normal modes are localized. As vibrational frequency increases through the boundary separating localized from delocalized modes, near…

We show that harmonic vibrations in amorphous silicon can be decomposed to transverse and longitudinal components in all frequency range even in the absence of the well defined wave vector ${\bf q}$. For this purpose we define the…

We study theoretically and experimentally the process of Brillouin light scattering on an array of silicon disks on a thin Permalloy layer. We show that phase-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy performed on an array of weakly…

It is possible to confine vibrational modes to silicon nanocrystals by encapsulating them within hydrogenated amorphous silicon. This is not because of the small impedance mismatch between materials but, rather, is due to higher order…

We report results of a systematic study of structural, vibrational and thermodynamical properties of 34-atom bimetallic nanoparticles from the AgnCu34-n family using model interaction potentials as derived from the embedded atom method and…

We present an O(N) algorithm to study the vibrational properties of amorphous silicon within the framework of tight-binding approach. The dynamical matrix elements have been evaluated numerically in the harmonic approximation exploiting the…
