Abstract

Raman Spectra of a superconducting Pb2Sr2Y0.75Ca0.25Cu3O8+δ single crystal (Tc≊20 K) have been measured at different temperatures between 10 and 300 K. Through their polarization properties, the Raman features observed at 90, 150, 240, 430, 480, and 570 cm−1 are identified as the six Ag modes, while the mode positioned at 325 cm−1 has B1g symmetry. The components of the Raman tensor for these phonons have been determined. The frequencies and assignments obtained here correlate well with lattice-dynamical calculations for Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8. The possible effect of the distortion of the oxygen atom from the ideal rocksalt-type structure of the PbO layers is discussed.
