Abstract
A lattice dynamical model is developed by applying the Clark–Gazis–Wallis-type three-particle forces in the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) system. The model is then applied in the study of the phonon dispersion in four hep metals, namely, Be, Tb, Ho, and Lu. The present scheme gives the dynamical matrix element Im D12 (q, 11) to be nonzero and explains the peculiar behaviour of dispersion branches along ΓKM direction in these hep metals. Further more, a single expression for C44 is found and the Cauchy discrepancy (C13-C44) is entirely ascribed to the three-particle forces.
