| Popis: | Normal modes and their dispersion have been obtained for polyselenophene (PSe) in the reduced zone scheme using Wilson's GF matrix method as modified by Higg's for an infinite polymeric chain. The Urey Bradley potential field is obtained by least square fitting to the observed infrared and Raman bands. The results thus obtained agree well with the experimental IR and Raman values. The characteristic features of dispersion curves such as repulsion and exchange of character, crossing, van Hove type singularities have been discussed and possible explanation has been given. Heat capacity has been calculated via density-of-states using Debye relation in the temperature range 0–450 K. Possible explanation for the inflexion region in the heat capacity variation is given. The spectra of the oligomers are checked with the finite–infinite spectral relationship and are found to be in agreement. |
