Vibrations of weakly-coupled nanoparticles

Lucien Saviot, D. B. Murray

The vibrations of a coupled pair of isotropic silver spheres are investigated and compared with the vibrations of the single isolated spheres. Situations of both strong coupling an…

Comment on "Extreme lowering of the Debye temperature of Sn nanoclusters embedded in thermally grown SiO2 by low-lying vibrational surface modes"

Daniel B. Murray, Avra S. Laarakker, Lucien Saviot

This Comment corrects two separate errors which previously appeared in the calculation of vibrational mode frequencies of tin spheres embedded in a silica matrix. The first error h…
