Computational Methods for Studying Phonon Dynamics
In solids and molecules, atoms vibrate about their respective equilibrium positions at finite temperature. This thermal motion can be understood as a superposition of the structure’s normal modes, often termed phonons, which are collective motions of atoms vibrating at certain frequencies. These vib...
