Abstract

Temperature and magnetic field dependence of Raman scattering spectra of Cu(Ge_1-xSi_x)O₃ has been measured for x = 0, 0.005, 0.008, 0.01, 0.015 and 0.02. For x≠0, zone-folded phonons due to the unit cell doubling appear at higher temperature (T_l) than the spin-Peierls transition temperature (T_SP) and T_l increases with an increase of x. The coupling between magnetic fluctuation and phonon is estimated from the peak at about 100 cm^-1 using the Fano formula, and the obtained coupling is almost independent of x. These results show that the suppression of T_SP by Si-doping is mainly caused by the dimensional change of the magnetic interactions from one to three dimensions. The magnetic field dependence clarifies that the peak at 30 cm^-1 is the soft phonon mode, not the SP gap excitation.
