5 Jun 2013 | | Abstract: | We present high-quality optical data and density functional perturbation
theory calculations for the vibrational spectrum of solid picene
(C$_{22}$H$_{14}$) under pressure up to 8~GPa. First-principles calculations
reproduce with a remarkable accuracy the pressure effects on both frequency and
intensities of the phonon peaks experimentally observed . Through a detailed
analysis of the phonon eigenvectors, We use the projection on molecular
eigenmodes to unambiguously fit the experimental spectra, resolving complicated
spectral structures, in a system with hundreds of phonon modes. With these
projections, we can also quantify the loss of molecular character under
pressure. Our results indicate that picene, despite a sim 20 % compression of
the unit cell, remains substantially a molecular solid up to 8 GPa, with phonon
modes displaying a smooth and uniform hardening with pressure. The Grueneisen
parameter of the 1380~cm^{-1} a_1 Raman peak ($gamma_p=0.1$) is much lower
than the effective value ($gamma_d=0.8$) due to K doping. This is an
indication that the phonon softening in K doped samples is mainly due to charge
transfer and electron-phonon coupling. | | Source: | arXiv, 1306.1030 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
