Reflection thermal diffuse x-ray scattering for quantitative determination of phonon dispersion relations

A. B. Mei, O. Hellman, C. M. Schlepütz, A. Rockett, T.-C. Chiang, L. Hultman, I. Petrov, and J. E. Greene

Phys. Rev. B 92, 174301 (2015) - Published 3 November, 2015

The ability to spectrally resolve phonon energies and dispersion relations is central to the understanding and controlling of structural properties and thermal transport of crystalline solids. However, many of the existing probing techniques are limited by the requirement of large sample sizes. In this work, the authors have demonstrated a new method for determining phonon dispersion relations of solids based upon synchrotron reflection x-ray thermal diffuse scattering measurements. The application of this method was demonstrated in the model system of MgO thin films. Such techniques may become valuable for determining vibrational properties of heteroepitaxial thin films since x-ray penetration depths can be selectively tuned through the use of grazing incidence.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Massive Goldstone (Higgs) mode in two-dimensional ultracold atomic lattice systems

Longxiang Liu, Kun Chen, Youjin Deng, Manuel Endres, Lode Pollet, and Nikolay Prokof'ev

Phys. Rev. B 92, 174521 (2015) - Published 18 November, 2015

The two-dimensional superfluid-to-insulator quantum critical point is expected to be accompanied by a collective Goldstone Higgs mode that is massive. However, experimental confirmation within ultracold atoms in an optical lattice is not straightforward. Using Monte Carlo methods and a comparison with recent experiments, the authors of this paper have found that the signature of this massive mode can be observed in the spectral function of the amplitude response under the right conditions.
