We review calculations and measurements of the phonon-dispersion relation of graphite. First-principles calculations using density-functional theory are generally in good agreement with the experimental data since the long-range character…
Direct measurement of local phonon dispersion in individual nanostructures can greatly advance our understanding of their electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. However, such experimental measurements require extremely high…
Scattering of phonons at boundaries of a crystal (grains, surfaces, or solid/solid interfaces) is characterized by the phonon wavelength, the angle of incidence, and the interface roughness, as historically evaluated using a specularity…
Transition metal dichalcogenides like MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$, and WSe$_2$ have attracted enormous interest during recent years. They are van-der-Waals crystals with highly anisotropic properties, which allows exfoliation of individual…
The lattice dynamics of Cu3Au, Ni70Pt30, Pd90Fe10, and Pd96Fe04 intermetallic is studied using the DFT calculations. We calculated the phonon dispersions and phonon densities of states along two high symmetry paths of the Brillouin zone by…
We have investigated the effect on phonon energy transport in mesoscopic systems and the reduction in the thermal conductance in the quantum limit due to phonon scattering by surface roughness using full 3-dimensional elasticity theory for…
We explore the inelastic electron scattering in SrTiO3, PbTiO3, and SiC in their phonon energy range, challenging the assumption that phonon polaritons are excluded at large angles in high-resolution transmission electron energy-loss…
Phonon measurements in the A15-type superconductors were complicated in the past because of the unavailability of large single crystals for inelastic neutron scattering, e.g., in the case of Nb$_3$Sn, or unfavorable neutron scattering…
The ability to assemble layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials to form permutations of van der Waals heterostructures provides significant opportunities in materials design and synthesis. Interlayer interactions provide a path to new…
Here we report on an elastic and inelastic neutron scattering study addressing the effect of electric fields on quantum paraelectric SrTiO3. Our elastic scattering results find small changes as a function of field in a superlattice…
We present neutron inelastic scattering measurements of the low-energy phonons in single crystal BiFeO3. The dispersions of the three acoustic phonon modes (LA along [100], TA1 along [010] and TA2 along [110]) and two low energy optic…
We report the results of the investigation of the acoustic and optical phonons in quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnetic semiconductors of the transition metal phosphorus trisulfide family with Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cd as metal atoms. The…
Using finite temperature Raman spectroscopy, we investigate the electron-phonon interactions (EPI) and phonon-phonon scattering dynamics in the Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 in different fre quency regimes. Strong softening of the Raman shifts…
The lattice dynamics of AgPd, Ni55Pd45, Ni95Pt05, and Cu0.715Pd0.285 intermetallic have been investigated using the DFT calculation. The phonon dispersions and phonon densities of states along for two symmetry directions are calculated by…
We report first principles density functional perturbation theory calculations and inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the phonon density of states, dispersion relations and electromechanical response of PbTiO3, BaTiO3 and SrTiO3.…
A recent inelastic x-ray scattering study [Manley et al., Phys. Rev. B 85, 132301 (2012)] reveals that the phonon dispersion curves of PuO2 is considerably consistent with our previous density functional +$U$ results [Zhang et al., Phys.…
Traditional models of interfacial phonon scattering, including the acoustic mismatch model (AMM) and diffuse mismatch model (DMM), take into account the bulk properties of the material surrounding the interface, but not the atomic structure…
Recently, an anisotropic Debye model [Dames et al., Physical Review B 87, 12 (2013)] was proposed for calculations of the interfacial thermal conductance and the minimum thermal conductivity of graphite-like layered materials. Despite…
High resolution data on low energy phonon branches (acoustic and soft optic) along the three principal symmetry axes in pure KTaO3 were obtained by cold neutron inelastic scattering between 10 and 80 K. Additional off-principal axis…
Acoustic bianisotropic materials couple pressure and local particle velocity fields to simultaneously excite monopole and dipole scattering, which results in asymmetric wave transmission and reflection of airborne sound. In this work, we…
