We present a neutron scattering study of phonons in single crystals of (Pb$_{0.5}$Sn$_{0.5}$)$_{1-x}$In$_x$Te with $x=0$ (metallic, but nonsuperconducting) and $x=0.2$ (nonmetallic normal state, but superconducting). We map the phonon…

In as-grown bulk crystals of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ with $x\lesssim0.3$, excess Fe ($y>0$) is inevitable and correlates with a suppression of superconductivity. At the same time, there remains the question as to whether the character…
We present a Raman study of ZrAs_{2} single crystals, a nodal line semimetal with symmetry-enforced Dirac-like band crossings. We identified the symmetry of phonon modes by polarized light measurements and comparison with calculated phonon…
The spin-fluctuation effect in the Se-substituted system Fe$_{1+\delta}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ ($x$ = 0, 0.05, 0.12, 0.20, 0.28, 0.33, 0.45, 0.48 and 1.00; $0<\delta < 0.12$) has been studied by the measurements of the X-ray diffraction, the…
We report a comprehensive Raman study of the phonon behaviour in PdSe$_2$ in the temperature range of 5 K to 300 K. A remarkable change in the Raman spectrum is observed at 120 K: a significant enhancement of the out-of-plane phonon…
The phonon-mode decomposition of the electron-phonon coupling in the MgB2-like system Li_{1-x}BC is explored using first principles calculations. It is found that the high temperature superconductivity of such systems results from extremely…
The recently discovered LaFe2As2 superconducting compound, member of the 122 family of iron pnictide superconductors, becomes superconducting below Tc=13K, yet its nominal doping apparently places it in the extreme overdoped limit, where…

The anomalous features of the Raman spectroscopy measurement in MgB$_2$ represent a still unresolved puzzle. In particular highly debated are the origin of the huge $E_{2g}$ phonon linewidth, the nature of the low energy ($\omega <…
