Abstract (englisch):
The reduction of the dimensions of crystals to the nanometer length scale induces significant deviations in the phonon dispersions and phonon density of states (PDOS) of nanostructures compared to their bulk counterparts and novel vibrational phenomena emerge. I will present recent results of lattice dynamics study of alpha-phase FeSi2 endotaxial nanowires, epitaxially grown on Si(110), as a function of their size [1]. The experimentally obtained Fe-partial PDOS from nuclear inelastic scattering are comprehensively understood by the help of ab initio theory [2]
