Effective Force Constant Ratios: Iron In Iridium And Rhodium, Dennis Munsterman

Dissertations and Theses

Classical methods of analyzing heat capacity data for the characteristic moments of the frequency distribution are applied to iridium and rhodium. Impurity moments are determined from high and low temperature f values. These moments are combined by modern theory to estimate the magnitude of the host-host to host-impurity force constant ratio. Ratios of the various host moments are also examined.
