要旨

Measurement of heat capacity of superionic silver sulfide (argentite β-Ag2S) revealed that nanocrystalline argentite has a higher heat capacity than coarse-crystalline argentite. It is shown that the heat capacity of nanocrystalline substances includes an additional positive contribution caused by the limitation of the phonon spectrum on the part of low and high frequencies due to a small particle size. The estimation of this contribution on the basis of experimental differences in the heat capacities of nano- and coarse-crystalline argentite β-Ag2S in the region of its existence, 470–850 K, made it possible to determine for the first time the velocities of propagation of longitudinal and transverse elastic vibrations cl and ct and elastic stiffness constants c11, c12 and c44. It is established that with a rise in temperature the elastic characteristics of argentite decrease. The anisotropy of elastic properties of cubic argentite was analyzed, and the crystal lattice directions corresponding to the largest and the least values of elastic moduli were determined. An increase of the temperature from 470 to 850 K leads to a small decrease of the elastic anisotropy of cubic β-Ag2S argentite.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
