Abstract

Raman spectra of Tl2Ba2CuO6-x were measured at pressure up to 20 GPa. Nonlinear pressure dependence of Raman shifts of A1g -modes was observed at pressure exceeding 12 GPa. As follows from the analysis of logarithmic derivatives of Raman shifts under pressure, the vibrations of oxygen atoms are less sensitive to the pressure than the vibrations of metal atoms. This fact was interpreted as resulting from the layered arrangement of the unit cell of Tl2Ba2CuO6−x with oxygen atoms strongly bonded to Tl layers. With increasing hydrostatic pressure we were able to see the resonant enhancement of the Raman-scattering of Ba-vibrations.
