An effective field approach for many-body forces between ions of a metal

Приближение эффективного поля для сил многих тел ионов металла

Abstract

For calculating the phonon spectrum of a metal lattice a self-consistent field approximation is used. At a given lattice deformation the restoring forces between the ions have a many-body character because of the effects of the periodic field. The condition of self-consistency and the use of first order Bloch functions for correcting the dielectric tensor lead to a physical understanding of a formula proposed earlier for calculating the elements of the dynamical matrix arising from many-body forces.

Резюме

Для вычисления фононного спектра металлической решетки применяется приближение самосогласованного поля. При данной деформации решетки востанавливающие силы между ионами имеют характер многих тел, что является следствием эффектов периодического поля. Условие самосогласогласованности и применение функций Блоха первого порядка для диэлектрического тензора, ведут к физическому пониманию формулы, предложенный ранее для определения элементов динамической матрицы, обусловленной силами многих тел.
