Outline of Final Research Achievements

The PI has performed temperature-dependent THz measurements for alpha-lactose monohydrate, theophylline, and alpha-L-xylose. Interesting temperature dependencies have been observed in these systems. Quasi-harmonic calculations, which introduce an explicit dependence on unit-cell volume of THz modes and retain the harmonic expression for the Helmholtz free energy, have been performed to all three systems. The Quasi-harmonic results have been qualitatively explained the temperature-dependent frequency shifts for a few THz peaks. The correlation between the quasi-harmonicity and the nature of THz modes has been discussed. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the proposed high-field THz spectroscopic experiments have not been carried out. The PI expects to be able to complete this part of work after the pandemic. An interplay between the temperature-dependent and high-field terahertz spectroscopic measurements will lead to a more complete understanding of the anharmonicities of THz modes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

This research work gives an insight into the anharmonicity of THz modes, which may help to understand many related macroscopic properties such as thermal (or negative) expansion and heat conduction.
