摘要: In the harmonic approximation, the atomic force constants are derived and the phonon dispersion curves along four major symmetry directions [00$\zeta $], [0$\zeta \zeta $], [$\zeta \zeta \zeta $] and [0$\zeta $1] (or $\De $, $\Si $, $\La $ and $Z$ in group-theory notation) are calculated for four noble metals Cu, Ag, Au and Pt by combining the modified analytic embedded atom method (MAEAM) with the theory of lattice dynamics. A good agreement between calculations and measurements, especially for lower frequencies, shows that the MAEAM provides a reasonable description of lattice dynamics in noble metals.

Abstract: In the harmonic approximation, the atomic force constants are derived and the phonon dispersion curves along four major symmetry directions [00$\zeta $], [0$\zeta \zeta $], [$\zeta \zeta \zeta $] and [0$\zeta $1] (or $\varDelta $, $\varSigma$, $\varLambda $ and $Z$ in group-theory notation) are calculated for four noble metals Cu, Ag, Au and Pt by combining the modified analytic embedded atom method (MAEAM) with the theory of lattice dynamics. A good agreement between calculations and measurements, especially for lower frequencies, shows that the MAEAM provides a reasonable description of lattice dynamics in noble metals.

Key words: noble metals, lattice dynamics, MAEAM
