چکیده

We report inelastic light scattering studies on Ca(Fe0.97Co0.03)2As2 in a wide spectral range of 120-5200 cm( - 1) from 5 to 300 K, covering the tetragonal to orthorhombic structural transition as well as magnetic transition at Tsm ~ 160 K. The mode frequencies of two first-order Raman modes B1g and Eg, both involving the displacement of Fe atoms, show a sharp increase below Tsm. Concomitantly, the linewidths of all the first-order Raman modes show anomalous broadening below Tsm, attributed to strong spin-phonon coupling. The high frequency modes observed between 400 and 1200 cm( - 1) are attributed to electronic Raman scattering involving the crystal field levels of d-orbitals of Fe(2+). The splitting between xz and yz d-orbital levels is shown to be ~25 meV, which increases as temperature decreases below Tsm. A broad Raman band observed at ~3200 cm( - 1) is assigned to two-magnon excitation of the itinerant Fe 3d antiferromagnet.

Raman evidence for the superconducting gap and spin–phonon coupling in the superconductor Ca(Fe0.95Co0.05)2As2

Inelastic light scattering studies on a single crystal of electron-doped Ca(Fe0.95Co0.05)2As2 superconductor, covering the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition as well as the magnetic transition at TSM ∼ 140 K and the superconducting transition temperature Tc ∼ 23 K, reveal evidence for superconductivity-induced phonon renormalization. In particular, the phonon mode near 260 cm−1 sh...

Raman scattering study of Nd 1 − x Sr x MnO 3 ( x = 0 . 3 , 0 . 5 )

We report on polarized Raman scattering of single crystals of Nd1−x SrxMnO3 (x = 0.3, 0.5). Raman spectra of Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3 show a significant change through the metal–insulator transition. In the ferromagnetic metallic phase phonon modes grow in intensity and number while the electronic continuum becomes more pronounced. We suggest that these effects are due to the strong competition between t...

Raman Scattering in Charge Ordered Pr0.63Ca0.37MnO3 : Anomalous Temperature Dependence of Linewidth

– We report on the evolution of the Raman-active Ag phonon modes in the chargeordered manganite Pr0.63Ca0.37MnO3 as a function of temperature from 300K to 25K. Our studies reveal that the linewidths of the Ag(2) and Ag(4) phonons increase as temperature decreases. This anomalous temperature dependence of phonon lineshapes, seen for the first time in charge ordered manganites, can be quantitativ...
