Suppose you have a very small sample of the orthorhombic crystal (orthorhombic, lattice constants 5.3 Å, 5.4 Å and 5.5 Å). The crystal is 53 nm x 54nm x 55 nm oriented along the respective axis. [2] Show for this crystal, there are one million atoms. [2] If the crystal has dimensions 53nmx54nmx55nm, calculate the smallest and largest phonon wave vectors for this crystal (state answer in mks). [2] What exactly is a phonon and why do we use them?
