Low-frequency excitations in glassy selenium: A comparison of neutron-scattering and molecular-dynamics results

The microscopic low-frequency dynamics of glassy selenium is investigated by means of the concurrent use of neutron inelastic scattering and computer simulations. A separation of the dynamic response in terms of intra- and interchain processes is achieved from the analysis of the simulation results....

Descrição
Resumo:The microscopic low-frequency dynamics of glassy selenium is investigated by means of the concurrent use of neutron inelastic scattering and computer simulations. A separation of the dynamic response in terms of intra- and interchain processes is achieved from the analysis of the simulation results. The S(Q,E) dynamic structure factors are analyzed in terms of the frequency moments or from a model scattering law, and the wave-vector dependence of the relevant quantities is established. Finally, the anomalous behavior of the heat capacity at moderately low temperatures is shown to be originated by mostly interchain interactions.
