Description

Phonon spectra for graphitic sheets of carbon, BN, and BC2N are computed and studied. The dynamical matrices are constructed from force constants obtained by performing supercell Hellmann-Feynman force calculations within the framework of the local-density approximation. The calculated phonon dispersions of the BC2N sheet are found to be similar to a superposition of those of graphite and BN sheets. Geometrical relations between the calculated phonon modes of the BC2N sheet and those of graphite and BN sheets are discussed
