The spectrum of lattice vibrations in a crystalline or glassy network provides the foundation for the kinetic theory of solids.
12.
Later studies on the same anion were also able to account for vibronic transitions involving low-frequency lattice vibrations.
13.
A phonon is essentially a lattice vibration, or rather a small, harmonic kinetic movement of the atoms of the material.
14.
R . H . Ogg was first to suggest that electrons might act as pairs coupled by lattice vibrations in the material.
15.
In crystalline ice the vibrational spectrum is also affected by hydrogen bonding and there are lattice vibrations causing absorption in the far-infrared.
16.
In contrast to metals, where heat is conducted by delocalized electrons, lattice vibrations are responsible for diamond's very high thermal conductivity.
17.
In multidimensional case the geometrical nonlinearity is also present, i . e . lattice vibrations are nonlinear even in the case of harmonic interatomic potential.
18.
As a result, when lattice vibrations or molecular vibrations induce relative displacements of the atoms, the centers of positive and negative charges are also displaced.
19.
The pairing in a normal superconductor is due to lattice vibrations, and is in fact very weak; this means that the pairs are very loosely bound.
20.
Solids also have a specific heat capacity, which is the capacity of a material to store energy in the form of heat ( or thermal lattice vibrations ).
