Two dimensional square latticeConsider the in-plane vibrations of a two-dimensional square lattice of identical atoms, and let uxl,m denote the x-displacement of the atom in the lth column and mth row and uyl,m denote the y-displacement. The mass of each atom is M, and C is the force constant for nearest neighbor atoms. Calculate the dispersion relation and plot the density of states. |
