Two-Phonon Infrared Spectra of Si and Ge: Calculating and Assigning Features

Published

Author(s)

Eric L. Shirley, Hadley Lawler

Abstract

Third-order density-functional perturbation theory yields the terahertz/far-infrared absorption spectra for silicon and germanium, including all two-phonon combination and difference features. Temperature-dependent spectra are compared to available experimental results. Critical-point analysis is used to identify the branch and wave-vector indices of many features.
