Title: Wide and asymmetric oxygen bond-stretching phonons in La{sub 1.85}Sr{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4}

Abstract

An inelastic-neutron-scattering study performed on a single crystal of superconducting La{sub 1.85}Sr{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4} reveals that the highest longitudinal phonon mode at wave vector ({pi},0) (planar oxygen bond-stretching mode), of which the frequency is strongly affected by hole doping, has a very wide and asymmetric line shape. This line shape is considered anomalous and cannot be explained by normal electron-phonon coupling (Fermi surface nesting) or a macroscopic inhomogeneous hole distribution. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
