Description

A harmonic valence-force-field rigid-ion lattice-dynamical model fitted to Raman and IR spectral data and extended throughout the whole Brillouin zone has been used to calculate the atomic displacement parameters, entropy and molar heat capacity for corundum (α-Al2O3) and bromellite (BeO). The agreement with experimental data is good. (orig.)
