Fj. Mompean et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF COLLECTIVE EXCITATIONS IN LIQUID DEUTERIUM STUDIED BY NEUTRON INELASTIC-SCATTERING, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 5(32), 1993, pp. 5743-5754
The inelastic response from liquid deuterium has been measured on a th
ermal three-axis neutron spectrometer at two different temperatures. T
he observed neutron scattering spectra show clear inelastic features w
hich have been analysed using a damped harmonic oscillator (DHO) model
. The momentum transfer dependences of the DHO frequencies and damping
coefficients at each temperature are compared and related to the resu
lts of the correlated density matrix formalism.
