Crystal Dynamics of the Alloy Cu₃Au

Abstract

Using inelastic scattering of slow neutrons, the frequency wave vector dispersion relations for the lattice vibrations in the disordered alloy Cu 3 Au have been measured at 296 K. The results are similar to those for copper, with the mean frequency ratio (alloy/copper) being 0.778. A Born–von Kármán fit to the data is given. Although detailed measurements of phonon widths have not yet been made, phonons were generally well defined, with no large scale resonance behavior of frequencies or widths observed.
