Abstract(in English) We have developed the interatomic potential of SiGe, GeSn, and SiSn binary mixed systems to reproduce the lattice constant, phonon frequency, and phonon dispersion relations in the bulk pure group IV crystal and group IV binary alloys by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The phonon dispersion relation is derived from the dynamical structure factor which is calculated by the space-time Fourier transform of atomic trajectories in MD simulation. The designed potential parameter set almost reproduces the experimental data of lattice constant and phonon frequency in Si, Ge, Sn, SiGe, GeSn, and SiSn. The Sn concentration dependence of the Ge-Sn, Si-Sn, and Sn-Sn mode phonon frequency, which are not yet clarified, is calculated with newly developed potential in GeSn and SiSn alloy. Furthermore, the TA phonon branches in the phonon dispersion relations were drastically broadened or split. The broadening or split of the acoustic phonon is related to the thermal characteristic. Thus, the phonon broadening or split can be controlled by difference of atomic potential or weight, the thermal characteristic also can be controlled. This work enables us to predict the elastic and phonon related properties of bulk group IV alloys.
