Study Notes

Objectives of Chapter 4

Understand the behavior of particles at absolute zero Kelvin
Explore the vibration of solid media and its implications

Atomic Motion at Absolute Zero

At absolute zero Kelvin, atoms are not at rest due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Quantum fluctuations are responsible for the residual motion

Vibrations of a Solid Medium

Vibrations of a solid medium carry energy and momentum
These vibrations are a fundamental aspect of condensed matter physics

Types of Vibrational Waves

In a continuous medium, there are two kinds of vibrational waves:
- Longitudinal waves ( compression and rarefaction)
- Transverse waves (perpendicular motion)

Dispersion Relation of Linear Chains

The dispersion relation of linear chains is outlined to demonstrate the harmonic approximation
This relation illustrates the behavior of phonons in a linear chain of atoms
