Title Dispersion relation of an OH-stretching vibration from inelastic x-ray scattering
Contributors
Abstract We show that recent advances now allow us to measure the wave vector dependence of OH-stretching frequencies at energies around 400 meV by inelastic x-ray scattering using ID28@ESRF. We found a large, unexpected dispersion when we measured the dispersion relations of the hydrogen stretching frequencies of diaspore, alpha-AlOOH, where the hydrogen atoms participate in a hydrogen bond of intermediate strength. We can account for this behavior with density functional perturbation theory calculations and a simple model based on H-H interactions.
