Abstract

The complete phonon dispersion relation including both optic and acoustic modes has been measured along the major symmetry axes of a single crystal of CeD 2.12 at 295 K by coherent neutron scattering. The results show the inadequacy of simple models previously used for the analysis of neutron incoherent scattering studies of rare earth dihydrides. The interstitial mode of vibration due to the excess deuterium (above CeD 2 in octahedral sites has also been observed.
