Exercise 1: Dispersion of longitudinal phonons in a row of
atoms of type C=C-C=C-C%3D
Consider a linear lattice with constant "a" having as a basis two
identical atoms situated in a line and spaced from equilibrium by
b (b < a/2), see Chapter I, Ex. 15. The instantaneous position of the
atoms is x, X2, ... X2n-1, X2 Xn•1, and the distance along the line
relative to their equilibrium position is u,, uz, . Uzn-1, Uzm Uzn+ 1-
We consider only interactions between nearest neighbors which
are characterized by the force constants B, and B, as shown in Fig. 4.
Find the equations of motion of the two species of atoms constituting
the basis.
Starting from solutions of form:
u = Aexpi(@t-k x); u = Bexpi(@t-k x),
find the dispersion relations w = [(k), the acoustic and optical
longitudinal branches as a function of B. B, m (the mass of an atom),
and a. Also determine the ratio of the amplitudes A/B for each of these
branches in the center of the BZ (k = 0). Comment on the result.

Figure 4
Knowing that the sound velocity along the row is v, = 5000 m/s
(experimental value) find the frequency of atomic oscillations in the
center and at the limit of the BZ with a = 5 Å, b 1.25 A, B,/B =
b/(a - b). Show the corresponding dispersion curves and indicate
the forbidden frequency interval.
