Abstract
A theoretical lattice vibration spectrum is calculated for vanadium, in order to compare with the spectrum measured by the elastic incoherent scattering of neutrons. The calculated spectrum shows three peaks, the upper two of which occur at frequencies agreeing with the frequencies of the two peaks in the experimental curve. The third peak is not present in the measured spectrum. The maximum frequency of the calculated spectrum is lower by about 15% than the measured value.
