Raman spectroscopy and normal-mode assignments for Ba/sub 2/MCu/sub 3/O/sub x/ (M = Gd,Y) single crystals

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
Single crystals of superconducting Ba/sub 2/MCu/sub 3/O/sub x/ (M = Y, Gd) have been used for a study of the polarization dependence of the Raman spectra so as to better understand the lattice dynamics and the role of O defects in these materials. Several prominent vibrational bands have strong polarization dependence and can all be attributed to specific modes with A/sub g/ symmetry. Broad features between 500 and 600 cm/sup -1/ are suggested to be related to O vacancy disorder.
