Monte Carlo simulation using Johnson potential on Gd-Mg alloy for Debye-Waller factor and Debye temperature
Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) on the thermal properties in Gd-Mg alloy becomes essential as there axe only limited experiments available. A realistic Johnson potential is used to workout the specific heats for various temperatures and hence the Debye temperature. The results from the present simulation technique axe very well compared with our shell model calculation. The need of better X-ray measurements for Debye-Waller factor and Debye temperature other than the measurements of Subadhra and Sirdeshmukh, is discussed in detail.
