Abstract
Mean-square displacements were computed within the harmonic approximation from ab initio force constants for binary B-, Tl- and Bi-containing III-V compounds in sphalerite crystal structures in the temperature range from 0 to 1000 K in steps of 1 K. An Einstein model with a temperature-dependent characteristic frequency was used to model the temperature dependence of the mean-square displacements. A Gaussian was fitted to the temperature dependence of the characteristic frequency and parameters of the Gaussian are given. Phonon dispersion relations and densities of states derived during the computation of the mean-square displacements are also shown.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations and Advances publishes articles reporting advances in the theory and practice of all areas of crystallography in the broadest sense. As well as traditional crystallography, this includes nanocrystals, metacrystals, amorphous materials, quasicrystals, synchrotron and XFEL studies, coherent scattering, diffraction imaging, time-resolved studies and the structure of strain and defects in materials.
The journal has two parts, a rapid-publication Advances section and the traditional Foundations section. Articles for the Advances section are of particularly high value and impact. They receive expedited treatment and may be highlighted by an accompanying scientific commentary article and a press release. Further details are given in the November 2013 Editorial.
The central themes of the journal are, on the one hand, experimental and theoretical studies of the properties and arrangements of atoms, ions and molecules in condensed matter, periodic, quasiperiodic or amorphous, ideal or real, and, on the other, the theoretical and experimental aspects of the various methods to determine these properties and arrangements.
