RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Pressure dependence of the lattice dynamics of ZnO: Anab initioapproach A1 Romero, A. H. A1 Manjón, F. J. A1 Lauck, R. A1 Cardona, M. A1 Rubio, A. A1 Serrano Gutiérrez, Jorge AB We have performed first-principles calculations of the electronic structure of ZnO, and applied them to the determination of structural and lattice-dynamical properties and their dependence on pressure. The dynamical matrices have been obtained for the wurtzite, zinc-blende, and rocksalt modifications with several lattice parameters optimized for pressures up to 12 GPa. These matrices are employed to calculate the one-phonon densities of states (DOS) and the two-phonon DOS associated with either sums or differences of phonons. These results provide the essential tools to analyze the effect of isotope-induced mass disorder and anharmonicity on phonon linewidths, which we discuss here and compare with experimental data from Raman spectroscopy, including first- and second-order spectra. Agreement of calculated properties with experimental results improves considerably when the renormalization due to anharmonicity is subtracted from the experimental data.
