Abstract

The validity of a four-parameter semi-quantum (FPSQ) model to fit infrared reflectivity spectra of crystals having a large number of phonon branches is discussed in view of the results of anharmonic quantum theories. The form of the quantum damping function may indeed be simplified when the two-phonon density of states resembles a broad continuum in the vicinity of the resonance frequency. Infrared reflectivity data of corundum obtained at temperatures ranging from 77 to 1775K are fitted with the aid of the FPSQ model. The temperature dependence of damping of TO and LO modes is analysed and it is found that phonon lifetimes are essentially limited by anharmonic three-phonon coupling described by the cubic hamiltonian consistent with two qualitative arguments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
