Fj. Bermejo et al., NEUTRON-SCATTERING FROM POLYCRYSTALLINE ICE (IH) - SOME KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING THE COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR OF LIQUID WATER, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 48(3), 1993, pp. 2300-2303
The phonon dispersion in the second Brillouin zone of polycrystalline
ice (1h) has been measured. The results confirm the predictions of a p
revious lattice-dynamics calculation [A. Criado, F. J. Bermejo, M. Gar
cia-Hernandez, and J. L. Martinez, Phys. Rev. E 47, 3516 (1993)] where
anomalously steep dispersion curves of an apparent acoustic origin we
re found. The relevance of the present findings for explaining some ap
parently anomalous features concerning the collective dynamics of liqu
id water is finally discussed.
