Phenomenological Explanation of Elastic Anomalies in Superlattices
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The experimental fact that measured elastic and structural properties of superlattices are strongly correlated can be understood on the basis of a simple model based on the packing of hard spheres. The model is consistent with features of many models that have been proposed to explain the supermodulus effect, but contrary to previous explanations, it allows predictions for a given pair of constituents to be made. For an arbitrary pair of elements, it predicts the existence or non-existence of an elastic anomaly, and a rough estimate of its magnitude.
