	Title	Microscopic theory of orientational disorder and the orientational phase transition in solid C₆₀			Type	A1 Journal article
	Year	1992	Publication	Physical review letters	Abbreviated Journal	Phys Rev Lett
	Volume	68	Issue	19	Pages	2929-2932
	Keywords	A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
	Abstract	We have developed a microscopic theory which describes the orientational dynamics of C60 molecules in the face-centered-cubic phase of C60 fullerite. The molecular interaction potential and the crystal-field potential are formulated in terms of symmetry-adapted rotator functions. The phase transition to the Pa3BAR structure is driven by an active multipolar mode of T2g symmetry belonging to the l = 10 manifold. The Birman criterion is satisfied. The transition is found to be of first order.

	Title	Rigid-plane phonons in layered crystals			Type	A1 Journal article
	Year	2012	Publication	Physica status solidi: B: basic research	Abbreviated Journal	Phys Status Solidi B
	Volume	249	Issue	12	Pages	2604-2607
	Keywords	A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
	Abstract	The determination of the layer number ${\cal N}$ in nanoscale thin layered crystals is a challenging problem of technological relevance. In addition to innovative experimental techniques, a thorough knowledge of the underlying lattice dynamics is required. Starting from phenomenological atomic interaction potentials we have carried out an analytical study of the low-frequency optical phonon dispersions in layered crystals. At the gamma point of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone the optical phonon frequencies correspond to rigid-plane shearing and compression modes. We have investigated graphene multilayers (GML) and hexagonal boron-nitride multilayers (BNML). The frequencies show a characteristic dependence on ${\cal N}$. The results which are represented in the form of fan diagrams are very similar for both materials. Due to charge neutrality within layers Coulomb forces play no role, only van der Waals forces between nearest neighbor layers are relevant. The theoretical results agree with recent low-frequency Raman results on rigid-layer modes [Tan et al., Nature Mater. 11, 294 (2012)] in GML and double-resonant Raman scattering data on rigid-layer compression modes [Herziger et al., Phys. Rev. B 85, 235447 (2012)] in GML. (C) 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH Co. KGaA, Weinheim

	Title	Theoretical phonon dispersions in monolayers and multilayers of hexagonal boron-nitride			Type	A1 Journal article
	Year	2009	Publication	Physica status solidi: B: basic research	Abbreviated Journal	Phys Status Solidi B
	Volume	246	Issue	11/12	Pages	2802-2805
	Keywords	A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
	Abstract	Starting from an empirical force constant model of valence interactions and calculating by Ewald's method the electrostatic force constants, we derive the dynamical matrix for a monolayer and for multilayer systems of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Solution of the secular problem leads to the corresponding phonon dispersion relations. The interplay between valence forces and Coulomb forces is discussed. A comparison with previous results on graphene and graphene multilayers is made. Our spectra on the h-BN monolayer are rather similar to previous ab initio theory results. Comparison is also made with Raman and infrared experimental results.

	Title	Theory of phonon dispersions and piezoelectricity in multilayers of hexagonal boron-nitride			Type	A1 Journal article
	Year	2011	Publication	Physica status solidi: B: basic research	Abbreviated Journal	Phys Status Solidi B
	Volume	248	Issue	11	Pages	2720-2723
	Keywords	A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
	Abstract	Taking into account covalent, Coulomb and van der Waals interactions, we construct the dynamical matrix and calculate the phonon dispersion relations for multilayer crystals of hexagonal boron-nitride. Coulomb interactions account for a strong overbending of optical phonons. Applying and extending Born's long-wave theory to the case of multilayer crystals, we calculate the piezoelectric stress constant equation image as a function of the number of layers equation image. In agreement with group theory, we find that equation image for equation image even; for an uneven number equation image of layers we obtain equation image, i.e. the piezoelectric constant decreases as equation image.

	Title	Theory of the elastic constants of graphite and graphene			Type	A1 Journal article
	Year	2008	Publication	Physica status solidi: B: basic research	Abbreviated Journal	Phys Status Solidi B
	Volume	245	Issue	10	Pages	2177-2180
	Keywords	A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
	Abstract	Born's long wave method is used to study the elastic properties of graphite and graphene. Starting from an empirical force constant model derived from full inplane phonon dispersions of graphite [Mohr et al., Phys. Rev. B 76, 035439 (2007)] we calculate the tension coefficients of graphene. Extending the model by interplanar interactions, we calculate the elastic constants of graphite. The agreement of our theoretical values with inelastic x-ray scattering results on elastic constants of graphite [Bosak et al., Phys. Rev. B 75, 153408 (2007)] is very satisfactory.

	Title	Theory of thermal expansion in 2D crystals			Type	A1 Journal article
	Year	2015	Publication	Physica status solidi: B: basic research	Abbreviated Journal	Phys Status Solidi B
	Volume	252	Issue	252	Pages	2433-2437
	Keywords	A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
	Abstract	The thermal expansion alpha(T) in layered crystals is of fundamental and technological interest. As suggested by I. M. Lifshitz in 1952, in thin solid films (crystalline membranes) a negative contribution to alpha(T) is due to anharmonic couplings between in-plane stretching modes and out-of-plane bending (flexural modes). Genuine in-plane anharmonicities give a positive contribution to alpha(T). The competition between these two effects can lead to a change of sign (crossover) from a negative value of alpha(T) in a temperature (T) range T <= T-alpha to a positive value of alpha(T) for T > T-alpha in layered crystals. Here, we present an analytical lattice dynamical theory of these phenomena for a two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal crystal. We start from a Hamiltonian that comprises anharmonic terms of third and fourth order in the lattice displacements. The in-plane and out-of-plane contributions to the thermal expansion are studied as functions of T for crystals of different sizes. Besides, renormalization of the flexural mode frequencies plays a crucial role in determining the crossover temperature T-alpha. Numerical examples are given for graphene where the anharmonic couplings are determined from experiments. The theory is applicable to other layer crystals wherever the anharmonic couplings are known.

	Title	Static flexural modes and piezoelectricity in 2D and layered crystals			Type	A1 Journal article
	Year	2016	Publication	Physica status solidi: B: basic research	Abbreviated Journal	Phys Status Solidi B
	Volume	253	Issue	253	Pages	2311-2315
	Keywords	A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
	Abstract	Piezo- and flexoelectricity are manifestations of electromechanical coupling in solids with potential applications in nanoscale materials. Naumov etal. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 217601 (2009)] have shown by first principles calculations that a monolayer BN sheet becomes macroscopically polarized in-plane when in a corrugated state. Here, we investigate the interplay of layer corrugation and in-plane polarization by atomistic lattice dynamics. We treat the coupling between static flexural modes and in-plane atomic ion displacements as an anharmonic effect, similar to the membrane effect that is at the origin of negative thermal expansion in layered crystals. We have derived analytical expressions for the corrugation-induced static in-plane strains and the optical displacements with the resulting polarization response functions. Beyond h-BN, the theory applies to transition metal dichalcogenides and dioxides. Numerical calculations show that the effects are considerably stronger for 2D h-BN than for 2H-MoS2.

	Abstract	The transition Fm (3) over bar m -->Pa (3) over bar in solid C-60 is driven by the condensation of orientational modes belonging to X-5(+) irreducible representations (irreps) of Fm (3) over bar m. Taking into account irreps up to the manifold l = 12, we have studied the primary and secondary orientational order parameters loops). We have numerically solved the coupled molecular field equations for these oops and calculated the temperature dependence of Bragg reflection intensities. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
