Abstract

The phonon density of states of mixed crystals has been determined by neutron diffraction in powders. In the “two mode type” mixed crystal ZnSxSe1-x, the great features of the host lattice density of states, are not modified up to an “impurity” concentration of 25%. On the other hand, the presence of Te in ZnSexTe1-x with x = 0.25, give rise to a “one-mode type” mixed crystal, the density of states of which is an average of that of the two components.These results justify that the eigenfrequencies of a two modes type mixed crystal can be calculated using the unperturbed host lattice density of states (additivity of Green's function).
