Description

Inelastic neutron-scattering studies were performed on a powder and an assembly of single crystals of La1.85Sr0.15CuO4, Tc∝36 K. Phonon density of states and the Q-dependence of the dynamic structure factor as well, as the details of the phonon-scattering function, were investigated as a function of temperature. We found that specific phonon modes at the Brillouin zone centre and the zone boundary showed anomalous behaviour at Tc. Thus we suggest a strong correlation between the phonon states and the superconducting states. (orig.)
