Studying vibration modes of ice X

In summary, the individual is researching ice X and is asking why hydrogen atoms in the center of the Brioullin zone must remain at rest on an even mode. They mention a reference book by Charles Kittle but it does not discuss this topic, and they are looking for a book or website that does. They also provide a website and articles for further reading.

Good afternoon. I am doing an study on ice X, a material with this structure http://postimg.org/image/nub4if9kb/
I want to know why in the centre of the brioullin zone the hidrogen atoms must remain at rest on an even mode.

My reference book is Charles Kittle's, but there is no discussion about this; If someone woul pont me to a book or webpage where this is discused I would really appreciate that.

Thanks for reading.

I don't know.
website

or google ice ten brillouin zone However if you have web of knowledge you could start with these articles

Related to Studying vibration modes of ice X

1. What is ice X and why is it important to study its vibration modes?

Ice X is a high-pressure form of ice that is formed under extreme conditions, such as deep in the Earth's mantle. Studying its vibration modes can provide insights into the properties and behavior of ice under high pressure, which can have implications for understanding geological processes and predicting potential hazards.

2. How do scientists study the vibration modes of ice X?

Scientists use a technique called Raman spectroscopy to study the vibration modes of ice X. This involves shining a laser onto a sample of ice X and measuring the scattered light to determine the frequencies and intensities of the vibrations.

3. What can the vibration modes of ice X tell us about its structure?

The vibration modes of ice X can provide information about the arrangement of atoms and molecules within the crystal lattice. By analyzing the frequencies and intensities of the vibrations, scientists can determine the bond strengths and distances between atoms, which can help in understanding the overall structure of the ice.

4. How does the pressure affect the vibration modes of ice X?

As the pressure increases, the vibration modes of ice X shift to higher frequencies and become more intense. This is because the atoms are forced closer together, resulting in stronger bonds and faster vibrations. By studying these changes, scientists can better understand the effects of pressure on the properties of ice X.

5. What are the potential applications of studying the vibration modes of ice X?

Studying the vibration modes of ice X can have various applications, such as helping to predict and mitigate natural hazards caused by high-pressure ice formations, improving our understanding of the Earth's mantle and other high-pressure environments, and potentially informing the development of new materials with unique properties.
