Phonon dispersion curves in Cr2AlC single-crystals

Neutron inelastic scattering is used for the first time to measure phonon dispersion branches in Cr2AlC MAX phase single crystals with appreciable size. Phonon spectra are also calculated within the Density Functional Perturbation Theory (DFPT) framework and exhibit a very good match with experiment...
