Abstract

This paper presents a detailed Raman scattering study of the unusually broad E2g phonon mode in MgB2 crystal. It is shown by polarized Raman scattering on a few-micron-size crystallites with natural faces that the observed broad Raman feature really does obey the selection rules of an E2g mode. Raman spectra on high quality polycrystalline superconducting MgB2 wires reveal a very symmetric E2g phonon line near 615 cm−1 with the room temperature linewidth of 260 cm−1 only. Additional scattering of different polarization dependence, observed in certain crystallites, is interpreted as weighted phonon density of states induced by lattice imperfections.
