摘要
The phonon dispersion of the low-temperature BCC-phase of pure iron (alpha-Fe) was investigated as a function of temperature. A strong softening of the entire T-1[xi xi 0] and T-1[xi xi 2 xi] branch is observed on approaching the martensitic alpha-gamma-phase transition temperature. The eigenvectors of these phonons are in the direction of displacements needed for the transformation to the FCC-(gamma-) phase. This indicates low potential barriers for displacements towards the closed-packed structure and can be interpreted as a dynamical precursor for the martensitic phase transition.
