Abstract

In this paper, we systematically studied Ca-YBCO (Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O7-δ) and CaLa-YBCO (Y1-xCaxBa2-xLaxCu3O7-δ) systems by Raman spectroscopy. It is found that Tc is closely related to the vibration of lattice. In the Ca-YBCO system, the phonons around 115 and 335 cm-1 harden as the Tc decreases. Oppositely, the 140 cm-1 mode and the 220 cm-1 mode soften. In the CaLa-YBCO system, the Tc decreases gradually with the content of Ca and La. The Raman peak of 140 cm-1 mode hardens and the 360 cm-1 mode softens. Besides, the fluctuations of phonons of 210 cm-1 mode and 575 cm-1 mode were observed.
