The non-pair forces and phonon dispersion in heavy alkali metals

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Two types of the non-pair forces, one from the Born-Mayer and other from the Morse potential, are derived to discuss the response of the electrons in heavy alkali metals, i.e. rubidium and caesium. These potentials are added to the two-body potential of Morse to account for the ion-ion interactions as well. The potentials so obtained are employed to predict the phonon dispersion relations in the bcc metals, which are also compared with the recent precise neutron scattering data.
