Lattice Dynamics and Electron-Phonon-Coupling Field and Vibronic Spectra

Calculated structural, elastic and electronic properties of SrCl2

“…These compounds have ionic conductivities at temperatures well below the melting temperature which finds potential application as solid state electrolytes. From the experimental side several interesting properties of alkaline-earth halides such as electronic structure and optical spectra, elastic constants, lattice dynamics and high-pressure structural phase transitions have been studied [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. From the theoretical point of view the electronic structure, structural phase stability, equation of state, elastic constants, ionic conductivity, and temperature dependence of elastic parameters have been determined [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Determining Phonon Coherence Using Photon Sideband Detection

“…Sideband spectroscopy has been widely used as a means to detect nonequilibrium phonon population [37], phonon propagation [37], phonon transmission through interfaces [36], phonon band structure [35,39] etc. Extensive theoretical studies in the nineteen fifties have allowed rigorous understanding of sideband lineshape and have been utilized to complement neutron scattering phonon band structure measurements [40,41]. Here, we use the basis of quantum theory of photodetection to rigorously characterize the phonon coherence using sideband detection.…”

Etching Characteristics and Mechanism of ZnO and Ga-Doped ZnO Thin Films in Inductively Coupled HBr/Ar/CHF3 Plasma

“…We find that the side-band structure in the band-mode region can be explained quite well using a superposition of projected r3g and I?sg densities-of-states of the same weight; coupling schemes which depend on the angular characteristics of the wavefunctions of the ground and excited states can be devised to suggest the predominance of these modes. However, further experimental information on the symmetry structure of the side-bands (see eg Kuhner et al 1972) is required for a reliable interpretation of this aspect of the data.…”
