abstract = {Lattice dynamics and elastic constants in Mg2Si1−xSnx
were investigated using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy,
Mössbauer spectroscopy, nuclear inelastic scattering, and
inelastic x-ray scattering. Increasing the Sn content x
results in smaller elastic constants, lower Sn specific
Debye temperature, lower speed of sound, and a softening of
acoustic Sn specific phonons. However, close to band
convergence at about x=0.6, the shear modulus is well below
the expected value, which suggests a pronounced connection
between band convergence and lattice dynamics in this
system. Based on the determined speed of sound and average
phonon group velocity, the importance of optical phonons for
lattice thermal conductivity is discussed, as the
significant reduction in both velocities would yield an
implausibly low lattice thermal conductivity of only about
$60\%$ of the experimental value. Sn specific thermodynamic
quantities calculated from the Sn specific density of phonon
states substantiate the general softening of lattice
vibrations upon substitution of Si by Sn. A major
contribution to the vibrational entropy is thus due to Sn
specific vibrational modes. The generalized density of
phonon states in Mg2Si1−xSnx derived from inelastic x-ray
scattering for one composition shows that vibrational modes
related to lightweight Mg and Si set in above 12.5 meV,
whereas Sn specific modes are concentrated around 11 meV.},
