Abstracts

EN

Using the density functional theory, the phonon dispersion relations, the phonon density of states, mean square displacements, and thermodynamic functions of superconducting MgB_2 crystals have been calculated. The modes of graphite-like boron network belong to optic phonon branches, which are rather independent of the Mg vibrations.
