Abstract
Neutron scattering methods have been used to investigate the lattice dynamics of stage-one Rb graphite. Intercalate (Rb) modes with polarizations and wave vectors parallel to the basal plane have been observed for the first time. The experimentally-derived partial phonon density of states for intercalate modes is compared with model calculations. Phonon dispersion curves have been measured for longitudinal caxis modes and for some transverse modes propagating in the basal plane.
