The layered ternary compound TaIrTe4 is an important candidate to host the recently predicted type-II Weyl Fermions. However, a direct and definitive proof of the absence of inversion symmetry in this material, a prerequisite for the…
We report the results of polarization-dependent Raman spectroscopy of phonon states in single-crystalline quasi-one-dimensional NbTe$_4$ and TaTe$_4$ van der Waals materials. The measurements were conducted in the wide temperature range…
The recently discovered layered BiS2-based superconductors have attracted a great deal of interest due to their structural similarity to cuprate and iron-pnictide superconductors. We have performed Raman scattering measurements on two…
Resonance Raman scattering, which probes electrons, phonons and their interplay in crystals, is extensively used in two-dimensional materials. Here we investigate Raman modes in MoSe$_2$ at different laser excitation energies from 2.33 eV…
An intrinsic antiferromagnetic topological insulator $\mathrm{MnBi_2Te_4}$ can be realized by intercalating Mn-Te bilayer chain in a topological insulator, $\mathrm{Bi_2Te_3}$. $\mathrm{MnBi_2Te_4}$ provides not only a stable platform to…
Topological Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have attracted widespread interests due to the chiral Weyl fermions and surface Fermi arcs that enable unique optical and transport phenomena. In this work, we present angle-resolved Raman spectroscopy of…
In metallic condensed matter systems two different types of Weyl fermions can in principle emerge, with either a vanishing (type-I) or with a finite (type-II) density of states at the Weyl node energy. So far only WTe2 and MoTe2 were…
We have performed polarized Raman scattering measurements on WTe$_2$, for which an extremely large positive magnetoresistance has been reported recently. We observe 5 A$_1$ phonon modes and 2 A$_2$ phonon modes out of 33 Raman active modes,…
The vibrational properties of ErTe$_3$ were investigated using Raman spectroscopy and analyzed on the basis of peculiarities of the RTe$_3$ crystal structure. Four Raman active modes for the undistorted structure, predicted by factor-group…
We synthesized distorted octahedral(T') molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) and investigated its vibrational properties with Raman spectroscopy, density functional theory and symmetry analysis. Compared to the results from high temperature…
Raman scattering is a ubiquitous phenomenon in light-matter interactions which reveals a material's electronic, structural and thermal properties. Controlling this process would enable new ways of studying and manipulating fundamental…
Weyl semimetals are 3D phases of matter with topologically protected states that have remarkable macroscopic transport behaviors. As phonon dynamics and electron-phonon scattering play a critical role in the electrical and thermal…
We report a polarized Raman study of Weyl semimetal TaAs. We observe all the optical phonons, with energies and symmetries consistent with our first-principles calculations. We detect additional excitations assigned to multiple-phonon…
We explore the Fano resonance in ZrTe5, using Raman scattering measurements. We identified two closely spaced B2g phonon modes, B2g I and B2g II, around 9 meV and 10 meV, respectively. Interestingly, only B2g I exhibited the Fano resonance,…
Given the importance of crystal symmetry for the emergence of topological quantum states, we have studied, as exemplified in NbNiTe2, the interplay of crystal symmetry, atomic displacements (lattice vibration), band degeneracy, and band…
Using infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies combined with high-resolution x-ray diffraction, we address several controversial aspects of altermagnetic $\alpha$-MnTe. We show that mechanical stress applied to crystals of this material…
The quasi-one-dimensional material Bi4I4 hosts two crystallographically similar polymorphs that realize distinct topological insulating phases separated by a first-order structural transition near room temperature. This transition occurs…
We report temperature-dependent Raman scattering and X-ray diffraction studies of pyrochlore iridates, (Eu$_{1-x}$Bi$_x$)$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$, for x=0, 0.02, 0.035, 0.05 and 0.1. The temperature variation in Raman experiments spans from 4 K to…
We investigate the vibrational and magnetic properties of thin layers of chromium tribromide (CrBr$_3$) with a thickness ranging from three to twenty layers (3~L to 20~L) revealed by the Raman scattering (RS) technique. Systematic…
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…
