Buckyball; is the phonon a 'photon'?

[Bishadi]

In this attached link they are trying to share that within a C-60 (buckyball), they can calculate the phonon energy vibrations and even considering the implications of another structure to be place within the BB at variatant energy states.

The term to identify that 'vibration' is the phonon; is that phonon a photon?

Heat?

Abstract
In a bucky ball, the atoms are all interconnected with each other through sp 2 bonding, thus resulting in exceptional strength. Apart from its hardness, the important fact is that for nanotechnology, useful dopant atoms can be placed inside the hollow fullerene ball. In order to utilize such properties and the strength of this molecule, it is of interest to study its stability under internal and external pressure. Therefore, in this paper, we made an attempt to study the stability of this molecule based on its binding strength. We have used the Tersoff [1,2] as well as Brenner potential [3] for the intramolecular interactions between the carbon atoms of a bucky ball and compared the two.

Thanks

as i was not sure when it appears wiki is suggesting the phonon is based on an occilation (a frequency):

"In physics, a phonon is a quasiparticle characterized by the quantization of the modes of lattice vibrations of periodic, elastic crystal structures of solids.

The study of phonons is an important part of solid state physics because phonons play a major role in many of the physical properties of solids, including a material's thermal and electrical conductivities.

A phonon is a quantum mechanical description of a special type of vibrational motion, known as normal modes in classical mechanics, in which a lattice uniformly oscillates at the same frequency. "



maybe it is a gravity, or weak force, maybe the strong force just hummming away.....


i better go read the math before just the abstract.

Thanks you as your post was so helpful

sp2 bonding, if this helps, appears to refer to the fact that carbon bonds via it's 2S (two of them in the 2nd S shell/energy level) and its 2P (two of them also - in the 2P shell/energy level) electrons. Which lets carbon make bonds with one to 4 other things (and the other things can be Carbon). No idea what that has to do with phonons - which is/are above my pay grade!!

For what that means graphically, I strongly suggest hunting up: David's Whizzy Periodic Table (the 40 element version is much neater than the full PT version but both are out there). The Chem Collective PT is pretty neat also - it shows Hund's rule.

No- sp2 bonding means that the single 2s orbital on carbon is hybridized or mixed with two of the 2p orbitals, allowing for single bonds to three neighboring atoms. There is one 2p orbital left over, and this overlaps with the 2p orbitals on the neighboring atoms to allow additional pi bonding.

[gabeygoat]

DUDE, my guitar strings are photons, but that's because I'm awesome.

[MattusMaximus]

Phonons don't have anything to do with gravity or the strong & weak nuclear forces.

Phonons are quanta of acoustical vibrations in solids. The quantum of the strong force is gluons, the quanta of the weak force are W & Z bosons, and the (hypothetical) quantum of gravity is the graviton.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but you seem to be under the impression that frequency is a property of photons only. Is that your understanding?

what is the spectrum for all the other forces of nature? (strong, weak, em, gravity)

answer that and you have an argument, otherwise if energy is bound to fc (frequency*speed of light), then all of everything to include the word energy is of em

or you just dont know any better

If you want to win yourself a Nobel prize, go ahead and show the relationship between gravity and EM.

But energy isn't bound to fc. For example the energy contained in a guitar string is related to the amplitude of the vibration, but has nothing to do with the speed of light. The energy contained in a gravitational potential is related to the mass, the height, and the local gravitational constant (mgh), and has no frequency component at all.

[Bishadi]

Do you know what the word spectrum means? The way you use it is odd. it is the MEAURED range to the em group (light)


you said utter tings have a resonance, as i pose all have a foundation with em (even heat itself is based on em)

heck per the bohr analogy every electron that jumps to a higher shell must have 'a photon' to cause it.

Look up the quantum jump.

So causally speaking, unless you can share what the 'scale' (spectrum) is for the other forces of nature (gravity, weak, strong) then to drill down any phenomenon, that root cause will be?????



If you want to win yourself a Nobel prize, go ahead and show the relationship between gravity and EM. entanglement is the gravity between mass caused by the association of energy (light:em)

basic



Coming from you, that's hilarious.



i am glad i could enable a giggle. (ie.. with words i affected your mass (did you need evidence of entanglement? how about a taste of reality?


words entangle mass)) and all spooky at that!

[Bishadi]

i know.



But energy isn't bound to fc. then what is plancks constant 'h'?



For example the energy contained in a guitar string is related to the amplitude of the vibration, but planck dont do amplitude so i guess you couldnt define that with any 'speed'. (giggle giggle)

Gravity's root cause is not EM as far as anyone knows yet. Yet gravitational effects, for example orbits, have frequencies and spectrum.

Jibberish is the collection of words you keep stringing together without knowing their meanings.

You really need to get a beginner physics book and start reeducating yourself.

Phonon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon)

[Bishadi]

EM frequencies are one thing that can be described as a spectrum, not the only thing. but all that exists is based on the per se 4 forces of nature.

So which is which?

ie.... all that exists is bound to reality as the explanations are not the laws, the laws just offer a method of describing.


Gravity's root cause is not EM as far as anyone knows yet. that is a fair claim within this situation

Yet gravitational effects, for example orbits, have frequencies and spectrum. so what is causing it? occilations dont just happen in nature without an explanation and if the model fails at explaining, then honesty to the term 'unknown' is the only answer.

i see mercury progressing because it is being affected by the suns magnetosphere. (look up that orbit and find it is not following the laws)

Phonon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon)

why didnt you post up clips to share why the thread has the inquiry of whether a phonon is a photon?





A phonon is a quantum mechanical description of a special type of vibrational motion, known as normal modes in classical mechanics, in which a lattice uniformly oscillates at the same frequency. These normal modes are important because any arbitrary lattice vibration can be considered as a superposition of these elementary vibrations (cf. Fourier analysis). While normal modes are wave-like phenomena in classical mechanics, they have particle-like properties in the wave–particle duality description of quantum mechanics.

ie.... which force of nature is causing it?

[X]

Planck's constant concerns the relationship between energy and frequency of photons.

It does not in any way imply that energy or frequency can only come from photons.

Why should I post clips when the answer is obvious to anyone who can read:
A phonon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon) is not a photon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon).

(You can read, Bishadi :rolleyes:?)

Basically phonons are created by EM forces, i.e. the EM forces that create solids which then vibrate. Those vibrations are described in terms of phonons. But remember that these are quasiparticles, not real (or even virtual) particles. They are a concept used to get an approximate answer in quantum many-body problems.

[Bishadi]

it created the benchmark of the base unit of energy (the qubit)

and anything of science rendering the energy of a system is based on that 'h' if any drill down using a qm (qmc) etc frame.

the basis of most all physics is based on it

and the second is incorporated into the frame

photon are not 'created' but converted energy to a point of detection

photons are the base unit to measure no matter the wavelength.



motion is based on it

wiki........
In physics, electromotive force, or most commonly emf (seldom capitalized), or (occasionally) electromotance is "that which tends to cause current (actual electrons and ions) to flow."



my point; at the molecular level, the combining of emf is what causes motion to the large or small.

[Reality Check]

Your gibberish continues.
The Planck constant is a constant. It did not create anything. It just appears in the equations of quantum mechanics which leads to concepts such as the qubit.

The qubit is not the base unit of energy.

planck CREATED the belief and is like creating a religion to the ignorant (as if the bible is the word of god)

ie... i am not discounting the contrbution, i am observing evidence that the world aint flat and the fools just can't get over themselves.

The qubit is not the base unit of energy.


let me guess, 'c' is absolute and that is the base unit (to you)?

[Bishadi]

Photons are created despite your gibberish.

the magnetron converts electrical potential to chambers and the 2.45Ghz photon (state of energy) is created.


just like KLOS 95.5 is the photon of the radio stations transmition.

ever do the math to see how big that photon is?

Bishadi: do you just look up big words and sting them together semi-randomly? Because in all honestly, that's what your posts read like. Either you are trolling or you are so fundamentally misinformed about basic physics that dialogue with you is impossible.

All particles will exhibit a wavelength in keeping with wave-particle duality (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality) - this should address Bishadi's question, with the exception of gravity (since we don't have the particle of gravity - gravitons - "in hand" yet). Interestingly, though, we do have a wave view of gravity (gravitational waves) via general relativity; however, we have yet to directly detect gravity waves.

A phonon is a quasiparticle. It doesn't exisist. Zip zadda zilch. You can't isolate a phonon because it is imaginary. A useful figment of the human mind.

Basically phonons are created by EM forces, i.e. the EM forces that create solids which then vibrate. Those vibrations are described in terms of phonons. But remember that these are quasiparticles, not real (or even virtual) particles. They are a concept used to get an approximate answer in quantum many-body problems.
Actually quasiparticles are phenomeon that while aren't technically particles exhibit the properties of particles. The most commonly known one being the electron hole.
