Abstract

LiKSO4 has been investigated extensively by a variety of techniques recently. The phonon density of states of this material is now calculated for its two phases P63 (C66) and P31c (C3v4) using the rigid molecular-ion model within the external mode formulation. The partial density of states associated with translations of each species of atoms and translations and rotations of the "molecules" SO4-2 are individually derived in the two phases. The free-energy difference and vibrational energy for the two phases are also evaluated. We have also analyzed the anharmonic behavior in the system at q≅ 0, using perturbation theory in order to understand its role in the rotational dynamics of SO4-2 ions.
