Abstract

Raman scattering of A1g phonons in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ single crystals (δ=0.13, Tc=86K) has been measured as a function of temperature. We report an anomalous softening in the frequency and a decrease in the linewidth of the A1g phonon at 290cm−1 (O1,2 c-axis in-phase vibration) below Tc. We also confirm a smaller anomalous softening in the frequency of the A1g phonon at 465cm−1 (O3 c-axis vibration), but for this phonon mode no linewidth anomaly has been found. We compare the anomalous softening and linewidth behavior in the superconducting state with theoretical calculations for isotropic s-wave, planar d-wave, and dx2−y2 gap symmetries and as for a layered superconductor model.
