A New Approach to Phonon Anharmonicity

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

An approach to compute the anharmonic peaks of the phonon dispersion curves through the ab initio calculated Hellmann-Feynman forces from a series of supercells with realistic atomic displacements of all atoms, which correspond to a given temperature, is reported. Obtained phonon dispersion bands are able to represent the positions and shapes of the anharmonic peaks. As example, the approach to cubic PbTe and perovskite MgSiO3 crystals is applied.
