摘要
The low-energy part of the phonon dispersion of the quartz isotype alpha-AlPO4 has been investigated by inelastic neutron scattering. The experimental data are reproduced by different lattice dynamical models. Good quantitative agreement with experimental neutron, Raman and infrared data is achieved even with just a simple five-parameter Born-von Karman model. The results are compared with the lattice dynamics of quartz. As a main result, it is found that the lattice dynamics at low frequencies is essentially determined by the properties of the oxygen framework, irrespective of the specific nature of the central atoms within the oxygen tetrahedra. The dynamical stability of the lattice is discussed with regard to the incommensurate phase transition.
