Abstract Scope |
Phonon densities of states (DOS) of bcc chromium were measured from 6-1493 K using inelastic neutron scattering and compared to ab-initio calculations performed within the temperature-dependent effective potential (TDEP) framework. The energies of the low transverse modes were observed to decrease approximately 12% over this range of temperature, giving a non-harmonic contribution to the entropy of more than 0.1 kB/atom. Non-harmonic behavior is also observed in the remaining phonon branches. Temperature-dependent anharmonicities (phonon-phonon interactions) were calculated with TDEP, which is based on density functional theory (DFT). Effects of higher-order excitations on the entropy, free energy, and isobaric heat capacity of chromium are also investigated, and the resulting agreement with experimental data is discussed. |
