What Use Have Phonon Measurements Been?<br />

• Quantifying intera<strong>to</strong>mic potentials in metals, rare gas solids, ionic<br />

crystals, covalently bonded materials etc<br />

• Quantifying anharmonicity (I.e. phonon-phonon interactions)<br />

• Measuring soft modes at 2 nd order structural phase transitions<br />

• Electron-phonon interactions including Kohn anomalies<br />

• Ro<strong>to</strong>n dispersion in liquid He<br />

• Relating phonons <strong>to</strong> other properties such as superconductivity,<br />

anomalous lattice expansion etc
