Abstract

Anharmonic phonon-phonon coupling strengths have been derived from a simple phenomenological model potential in order to explain the characteristic phonon linewidths and lineshifts and inelastic neutron spectra of bcc metals in their high-temperature phase. The strong quasielastic scattering near q=2/3(111) and q=1/2(110) in bcc Zr and bcc Ti is actually caused by anharmonic broadening, with the lifetime of these low-frequency phonons of the order of a vibrational period. These modes which are connected to the structural phase transition from the bcc to the hexagonal or the hcp phase show the strongest anharmonic effects. The interference between one-and two-phonon neutron-scattering processes leads to an unusually strong intensity variation over adjacent Brillouin zones.
