X Abstract

Recent analytical models for the Poissonâs ratios (ν i j ) of tetrahedral frameworks are applied to α-cristobalite and α-quartz for the first time. Rotation and dilation of the SiO 4 tetrahedral subunits are considered. Each mechanism leads to negative ν 31 values; whereas negative and positive values are possible when they act concurrently. The concurrent model is in excellent agreement with experiment and explains the dichotomy between negative and positive ν 31 values in α-cristobalite and α-quartz; respectively. The predicted strain-dependent trends confirm those from molecular modeling.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
