Lattice dynamics of RbBr

Abstract
Phonon frequencies in RbBr at 80 K have been obtained by inelastic scattering of thermal neutrons. The measurements were performed in the symmetry directions Delta , Sigma and Lambda and along the line Z. Some zone boundary phonons were also measured at 300 K. Four versions of the shell model were fitted to the experimental frequencies, and the elastic and dielectric constants were calculated from the model parameters. From an eleven parameter model the authors have also calculated the phonon frequency spectrum and the temperature variation of the Debye temperature.
