Hi everyone
it is the first time for me to work on comsol and I want to calculate the phonon modes in nanowire but I don't know how to extract the wave-vectors corresponding to the eigenfrequencies of the phonon modes . and how to export that to matlab. If someone knows about that ,please help me

Have you had any luck? I am interested in this as well.

hi, could u find out how? I dont know how to define bloch boundary condition in solid mechanics physics.

You can manually define a Bloch boundary condition between two boundaries B1 and B2 by applying on boundary B1 a prescribed displacement of the form bndsim1(u)*exp(i*kx*L) where bndsim1() is a boundary similarity operator from Boundary B2. You should also specify that the displacement variables are complex and the Jacobian matrix is Hermetian.

I am trying to solve nanowire`s phonon dispersion.

But I have trouble in solving it.

I used 2D axis & 3D circular design. But I can not get satisfied results..
(I used structure mechanics -> solid mechanics & periodic condition.)


I don`t have clue what is problem..

How is a continuum model going to give optical phonon modes? Seems at best you can get only a linear approximation for low-k.

I need to solve acoustic phonon modes & some lower optical modes.

If I use continuum model, I can not solve optical modes?

Could I know linear approximation setting method?
