Abstract

A remarkable resonance-Raman effect has been observed for some “defect oxygen” modes in underdoped YBa2Cu3O7−x single crystals. In resonant conditions, we have studied the temperature dependence of frequencies for these originally Raman-forbidden modes as well as for the Raman-active ones. It has been found that, similar to the B1g-like mode, the yy-polarized “Raman-forbidden” modes soften below Tc, while the A1g-like modes dominating in the zz-polarized spectra do not. This difference in the phonon behaviors indicates a peculiarity of the interaction between the phonons and quasi-two-dimensional electron system in high-Tc superconductors. Above Tc, no clear phonon anomaly relevant to a pseudogap has been observed.
