LATTICE VIBRATION I
HEAT CAPACITY OF SOLIDS

-
Dulong - Petit law
-
In 1819, Dulong and Petit found experimentally that Cv for most solids at room temperature is 3R = 25 J/Kmol

BORN VON KARMAN MODEL
Condition
Periodic boundary condition which impose the restriction that a wave function must be periodic on a certain Bravais lattice

LATTICE VIBRATION II
1D MONOATOMIC LATTICE
Consist of chains of large number of identical atoms with identical masses, M connected by identical springs of spring constant, K
Atoms separated with distance, a

LONG WAVELENGTH LIMIT
-
-
Small value of q is close to the centre of the Brillouin zone
Linear dispersion
1D crystal has only one sound velocity
Lattice that have long wavelengths or small frequencies behaves as a continuum or no dispersion takes place
LATTICE VIBRATION III
-
NORMAL MODE
-
-
A pattern of motion in which all parts of the system move in a sinusoidal pattern, with the same frequency
-
Normal mode frequencies of a chain of two types of atoms
At A, the two atoms are oscillating in antiphase with their centre of mass at rest
At B, the lighter mass m is oscillating and M is at rest
At C, M is oscillating and m is at rest
-
-
At max.acoustical point C, M oscillates and m is at rest
At min.optical point B, m oscillates and M is at rest

LATTICE VIBRATION IV

PHONON MOMENTUM
Doesn't carry physical momentum because the center of mass of the crystal doesn't change it position under vibrations (except k=0)
In elastic scattering of a crystal is governed by K’ = K +G, where G is a vector in the reciprocal lattice, K is the wavevector of the incident photon and K’ is the wavevector of the scattered photon
In inelastic scattering,
Phonon is created, K’+ k = K +G
Phonon is absorbed, k' = k + K + G
PHONON GENERATION
Piezoelectric
- Electric field applied to a piezoelectric material (quartz, cadmium sulfide, etc..), strain experienced
- Oscillating electric field generated, the field then swing the piezoelectric transducer at the same frequency
- Phonon transmitted by the transducer, into the specimen
-
Thermal excitation
- Current flows through metal wires causes the electron's temperature to rise
- The electrons release energy by emitting phonon and photons into the metal and its surrounding
Above the threshold frequency, only photons are produced
Electron tunneling
- Thin layer of insulator is placed between two thin layers of metal to form a barrier for the electrons
- At certain energies, the electron can tunnel through the barrier, and can speed up with additional kinetic energy
