Theoretical evaluation of debye-waller factors for f.c.c. metals

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

The temperature dependence of the Debye-Waller factor exponents for five f.c.c. metals—copper, silver, aluminum, nickel and gold—has been carried out under the modified axially symmetric model of Shukla and Closs. The theoretical computations are compared with the experimental one ofY θM and ≪u 2≫, namely the Debye-Waller factor temperature parameter, the effective X-ray characteristic temperature and the root mean square displacement. Reasonable agreement has been obtained between the theory and the experiment.

Raassunto

Si è calcolata la dipendenza dalla temperature degli esponenti del fattore di Debye e Waller per cinque metalli f.c.c.—rame, argento, alluminio, nickesl ed oro—secondo il modello modificato a simmetria assiale di Shukla e Closs. I calcoli teorici sono confrontati con i dati sperimentali suY,430-1 ed ≪u 2≫, cioè il parametro di temperature del fattore di Debye e Waller, la temperatura caratteristica efficace dei raggi X e lo spostamento della radice qudratica media. Si è ottenuto un ragionevole accordo tra teoria ed esperimenti.

Реуме

На основе модыфицированной аксиалтно симметричной модели Шукла и Клосса вЫчисляется темчературная зависимость фактора Дебая-Уоллера для пяти гранецентрированных металлов—меди, серебра, алюминия, нилеля и золота. Теогетичеслие вЫчисления сравниваются с зкспериментальнымн данными для У, θM и <u 2>, т.е. для температурного парамепра фактора Дебая-Уоллера, зффективной характеристической температуры и среднего квадрапа смешения. Получается, разумное согласие между теорией и зкспериментом.
