Abstract

Inelastic neutron scattering has been used to study the lattice dynamics in Ba_1-xKxBiO₃ over a wide range of compositions, covering regions of the [composition (x), temperature (T)] phase diagram displaying semiconducting, metallic, and superconducting behavior. Modes are assigned using interatomic potentials calculations, which show good agreement with experiment. The oxygen phonon modes are very sensitive to changes in composition and oxidation state of the Bi ions. Phonon anomalies observed in both the oxygen TO bending (~33 meV) and stretching (~62 meV) modes as a function of temperature are discussed within the context of the BCS theory. Novel behavior is shown by the LO oxygen bending mode at ~42 meV that shows a strong dependence on composition, proposed to arise from the occurrence of structural phase transitions in this system.
