Temperature dependence of thek=0 optical phonons of Bi and Sb

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The temperature dependence of the energy and the linewidth of thek=0 optical phonons in Bi and Sb has been measured by Raman Scattering. The decrease in energy with increasing temperature is determined by the thermal expansion of the crystal whereas the increase in linewidth with increasing temperature can be accounted for by a two phonon decay process.
