What is recorded here?
B. N. Brockhouse and P. K. Iyengar used neutron spectroscopy to study lattice vibrations in single-crystal germanium. A later participant lecture depicts acoustic and optical phonon branches in two crystal symmetry directions and explains that simple force-constant models did not fully reproduce the measured dispersion.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The 1957 short paper and the later participant lecture describe related stages of the work. A dispersion figure reproduced in the lecture and the later 1958 analysis must not be attributed solely to the original short publication. The 1959 erratum is associated with the later analysis. The aluminium experiment with Stewart is a distinct contribution.
