Abstract
John Ziman begins the chapter on Lattice Vibrations in his book [1] to the effect that: The simplest solid seems to be solid argon. It consists of regularly spaced neutral atoms with tightly bound electron shells. These atoms are held together by Van der Waals forces, which mainly act on the nearest neighbors in the lattice. The physical processes in such a crystal are associated with the thermal motions of the atoms about their ideal equilibrium positions. The simplest description of this motion is given by Einstein’s model, according to which each atom is a simple harmonic oscillator in the potential well formed due to the interaction forces between neighbors.
