Abstract

The longitudinal low frequency acoustic and optic phonon modes of 2H-NbSe2 have been determined for the Gamma - M direction with inelastic neutron scattering at 50 K close to the charge density wave transition temperature. We found a softening of the two low frequency modes which are attributed to the same symmetry close to the charge density wavevector. We also found indications that the anomalous frequency seems to soften further for off-symmetry directions.

Inelastic Neutron Scattering Study of Phonon Dispersion Relation in Higher Manganese Silicides

Randy Belanger, James Patrick Clancy, Sheetal Jain, Zahra Yamani, Yu-Chih Tseng, Young-June Kim

Summary: We present the results of inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements on the phonon dispersion relation in higher manganese silicides (HMSs). A large single crystal ingot of HMS is synthesized using a slow cooling technique, with Mn15Si26 identified as the primary phase. The sample consists of highly oriented crystallites as confirmed by neutron pole-figure study and thermal conductivity data. Our INS results generally agree with previous experimental and theoretical studies on phonons in HMS; however, we also observe some discrepancies, such as a 5 meV gap at the zone center and a softer dispersion relation for the low-lying twisting mode. We discuss the possible origins of these observations and their implications for the thermal properties of HMS.

Momentum-dependent electron-phonon coupling in charge density wave systems

Jean-Paul Pouget, Enric Canadell, Bogdan Guster

Summary: This study demonstrates that the thermal dependence of q(T) in CDW systems can be understood by considering the momentum-dependent electron-phonon coupling. The analysis suggests that the variance of q(T) relies on the sign of partial derivative g(q)/partial derivative q, with its amplitude controlled by the electron-hole coherence length. Additionally, the proposal of hybridization effects between critical phonon branches and low-lying phonon branches provides insight into the q dependent electron-phonon coupling in these systems.

Phonons in highly-crystalline mesoporous silicon: The absence of phonon-softening upon structuring silicon on sub-10 nanometer length scales

Tommy Hofmann, Danny Kojda, Haider Haseeb, Dirk Wallacher, Oleg Sobolev, Klaus Habicht

Summary: This article presents inelastic thermal neutron scattering experiments probing the phonon dispersion in mesoporous silicon with 8 nm pores. The study reveals that phonon group velocities in highly-crystalline silicon are not modified by nanostructuring down to sub-10 nanometer length scales in mesoporous silicon, and there is apparently no effect of structuring on the elastic moduli. No evidence of phonon-softening is found in topologically complex, geometrically disordered mesoporous silicon in contrast to silicon nanotubes and nanoribbons.

The translational, rotational, and phonon dynamics of water in ZrO2/water nanofluid

Koji Yoshida, Yusuke Sanada, Toshio Yamaguchi, Masato Matsuura, Hiromu Tamatsukuri, Hiroshi Uchiyama

Summary: This study investigated the translational, rotational, and phonon dynamics of water in zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanofluid. The results revealed that the motion of water molecules becomes slower with increasing concentration of ZrO2, indicating an attractive interaction between water molecules and nanoparticles. Additionally, the sound velocity of the nanofluid was slightly higher compared to pure water. These findings suggest that the dynamics of water in the nanofluid differ from those in bulk systems, which may contribute to the enhanced thermal conductivity of the nanofluid.

Giant phonon anharmonicity driven by the asymmetric lone pairs in Mg3Bi2

Y. Zhu, J. Liu, B. Wei, S. Xu, Y. Song, X. Wang, T-L Xia, J. Chen, G. J. Snyder, J. Hong

Summary: In this study, giant anharmonic phonon modes were observed in Mg3Bi2 single-crystal through experimental measurements and verified by calculations. It was found that the giant anharmonicity is associated with the asymmetric Bismuth 6s lone-pair electrons. This finding provides new insight into the low lattice thermal conductivity of Mg3Bi2 and lays the foundation for designing novel high-efficient thermoelectric materials.

Enhanced covalency and nanostructured-phonon scattering lead to high thermoelectric performance in n-type PbS

Ekashmi Rathore, Rinkle Juneja, Debattam Sarkar, Subhajit Roychowdhury, Maiko Kofu, Kenji Nakajima, Abhishek K. Singh, Kanishka Biswas

Summary: This study achieves high thermoelectric performance in Ge-doped n-type PbS material by tuning the electronic structure and reducing thermal conductivity. The enhancement of covalency in chemical bonding and the introduction of nanometer-sized precipitates scatter heat-carrying phonons and lower the lattice thermal conductivity. Experimental results reveal low-frequency phonon modes and ultra-short phonon lifetime that contribute to the low thermal conductivity, while electron localization function analysis confirms the chemical bonding hierarchy and increased covalent bonding.

J. V. B. Moura, C. D. de Abreu Lima, E. A. O. Melo, V. E. Santos, W. C. Ferreira, P. T. C. Freire, C. Luz-Lima

Summary: In this study, the temperature-dependent behavior of as-synthesized silver orthophosphate microcrystals was investigated using various characterization techniques, revealing a first-order phase transition in the temperature range of 500-515 degrees C. The reversible phase transition was found to be related to the distortion of the tetrahedral symmetry of PO4 and confirmed by DSC analysis.

Off-shell effects in bound nucleons and parton distributions from 1H, 2H, 3H, and 3He data

S. I. Alekhin, S. A. Kulagin, R. Petti

Summary: We present the findings of a global QCD analysis that incorporates deep-inelastic scattering data from 1H, 2H, 3H, and 3He targets. We account for nuclear corrections using a nuclear convolution approach with off-shell bound nucleons, including the off-shell corrections responsible for the modification of the bound nucleons' structure functions (SFs). These corrections are determined in a global fit, along with the proton parton distribution functions (PDFs) and higher-twist terms. We examine the differences between protons and neutrons in terms of the off-shell correction and discuss our predictions for the ratio of the SFs Fn2/Fp2 and the corresponding PDF ratio d/u in the proton, as well as their correlations with the treatment of higher-twist terms and off-shell corrections. Notably, we find that the recent MARATHON data support equal relative off-shell corrections for both protons and neutrons.

Efficient First-Principles Methodology for the Calculation of the All-Phonon Inelastic Scattering in Solids

Marios Zacharias, Helene Seiler, Fabio Caruso, Daniela Zahn, Feliciano Giustino, Pantelis C. Kelires, Ralph Ernstorfer

Summary: Inelastic scattering experiments are crucial for mapping fundamental excitations of solids, with a particular focus on the role of multiphonon processes for phonon excitations. A new first-principles methodology has been developed to calculate the all-phonon quantum mechanical structure factor of solids, demonstrating the significance of multiphonon processes in the scattering patterns of black phosphorus. This approach represents a significant step towards interpreting static and time-resolved electron, x-ray, and neutron inelastic scattering data.

Summary: The domain relaxation process in multiferroic TbMnO3 single crystals under different electric fields and temperatures can be described by a combination of activation law and Merz law, with just two parameters to explain the relaxation times. The domain inversion process is mainly controlled by domain wall motion, with other mechanisms causing accelerated inversion near the multiferroic transition.

Magnetic-field-controlled spin fluctuations and quantum critically in Sr3Ru2O7

C. Lester, S. Ramos, R. S. Perry, T. P. Croft, M. Laver, R. I. Bewley, T. Guidi, A. Hiess, A. Wildes, E. M. Forgan, S. M. Hayden

Summary: As Sr3Ru2O7 approaches its critical magnetic field B-c, it displays typical and critical-point-related electronic heat capacity behavior, which can be attributed to scattering by spin fluctuations; as it enters the adjacent spin-density wave ordered phase, these fluctuations become stronger, suggesting that the order is stabilized through an order-by-disorder mechanism.
