Development and verification of the relationship between atomic vibrational amplitude and thermal expansion of crystalline solids
The relationship between the mean square vibrational amplitude of the atoms of a crystalline solid and the thermal expansion of that solid is derived from basic principles, assuming a simple potential energy function between atoms. The functional accuracy of this relationship is proven for several c...
