The phonon dispersion of a BiS$$_{2}$$-based superconductor LaBiS$$_{2}$$O$$_{0.5}$$F$$_{0.5}$$ is investigated by first-principles calculations and inelastic X-ray scattering experiments. The origin of superlattice (SL) reflections arising from transverse-type lattice modulation, which were recently reported in [J. Kajitani $textit{et al}$., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. ${bf 90}$, 103601 (2021)], is discussed in terms of lattice dynamics. Our first-principles calculations of phonon dispersion and the Fermi surfaces (FSs) demonstrate that the phonon mode corresponding to the transverse-type lattice modulation is unstable, and the propagation vector corresponding to the SL reflections is close to the FS nesting vector, which suggests that the phonon softening originates from the FS nesting. Against these calculated expectations, measured phonon dispersion in LaBiS$$_{2}$$O$$_{0.5}$$F$$_{0.5}$$ along the Z-A direction, where the SL point is located, shows no remarkable temperature dependence, and there are no steeply declining branches accompanied with a softening around the SL point. Based on these results, we discuss the two possibilities for the transverse lattice modulation in LaBiS$$_{2}$$O$$_{0.5}$$F$$_{0.5}$$: the order-disorder type structural transition and the displacive structural transition with an overdamped mode, for both of which the local structure distortion or the short range correlation within the BiS$$_{2}$$ plane would be essential.

The disappearance of a charge-density-wave (CDW) transition in Lu(Pt$$_{1-x}$$Pd$$_x$$)$$_2$$In is thought to be closely linked to a maximum of the superconducting transition temperature in the system. We studied the superstructure and the phonon softening in Lu(Pt$$_{0.5}$$Pd$$_{0.5}$$)$$_2$$In by means of neutron and high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering. A full phonon softening at $$q_{textrm{CDW}}$$ = (0.5, 0.5, 0) with the appearance of superstructure peaks could be clearly identified. The large tail of the superstructure intensity above the CDW transition indicates the importance of critical fluctuations.

$$^{149}$$Sm synchrotron-radiation-based M$"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy was performed in Sm-based intermetallics having a cubic crystal structure, Sm$$_{3}Tr_{4}$$Ge$$_{13}$$, SmB$$_{6}$$, SmBe$$_{13}$$, and Sm$$Tr_{2}$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$Tr$$ = transition metals). In spite of the difference of the local structure around the Sm sites, the observed M$"{o}$ssbauer spectra consist of a single line at 300 K. On the other hand, Sm L$$_{rm III}$$-edge X-ray absorption spectra consist of two components, suggesting Sm$$^{2+}$$ and Sm$$^{3+}$$ states. Difference of the number of the spectral components between the M$"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy is caused by the difference of the time window in the scattering process of these measurements. Correlation between the isomer shifts in the M$"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy and average Sm valence states estimated from the X-ray absorption spectroscopy exhibits a linear correlation.

The interaction between phonons and 4f electrons, which is forming a new quantum state (quasi-bound state) beyond Born-Oppenheimer approximation, is very prominent and lattice dynamics plays here a key role. There is only a small number of compounds in which the experimental observation suggest such a scenario. One of these compounds is CePd$$_2$$Al$$_2$$. The inelastic X-ray scattering technique was used for mapping the phonon modes at X and Z points as well as in L and D directions, where the symmetry analysis of phonon modes was performed. The measured spectra are compared with the theoretical calculation, showing very good agreement. The results are discussed with respect to the magneto-elastic interaction. The phonon mode symmetry A1g was found to be unaffected by the interaction, which is in contrast to previous assumptions.

Nature of structural instabilities in superconducting Sr$$_3$$Ir$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$

A quantum critical point appears as a second-order phase transition which takes place at zero temperature. In contrast to heavy-fermion systems in which magnetism often plays a vital role, recent studies revealed that structural instabilities can drive a system to a quantum critical point as well. In quasi-skutterudite (Ca,Sr)$$_3T_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ ($$T$$=Rh, Ir), Sr$$_3$$Ir$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ exhibits superconductivity around $$T_{rm sc}$$$${sim}$$5 K and a structural transition at $$T^*{simeq}$$147 K. Applying physical or chemical pressure on Sr$$_3$$Ir$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ suppresses $$T^*$$ rapidly, and a quasi-linear $$T$$ dependence of electrical resistivity, signature of non-Fermi liquid behavior, was observed where $$T^*$$ extrapolates to 0 K. The isomorphs (Ca$$_x$$Sr$$_{1-x}$$)$$_3$$Rh$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ exhibits similar behavior, where the criticality can be reached by $$x{sim}$$0.9 without external pressure. Neutron scattering experiments in Sr$$_3$$Ir$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ evidences the second order nature of the structural transition at $$T^*$$ by the observation of a continuous evolution of superlattice peak below $$T^*$$ and a gradual increase of critical scattering upon approaching to $$T^*$$ by cooling. Increase of $$x$$ in (Ca$$_x$$Sr$$_{1-x}$$)$$_3$$Rh$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ toward the quantum critical point leads to the systematic variation of the critical exponents of the order parameter. In addition, this substitution induces the phonon softening around the M point towards zero energy revealed by inelastic X-ray scattering experiment. We will present systematic variations in both elastic and inelastic channels upon approaching to the quantum critical point.

Approaching a quantum critical point has been an effective route to stabilize superconductivity. While the role of magnetic QCPs has been extensively discussed, similar exploration of a structural QCP is scarce. Using inelastic X-ray scattering, we examine the phonon spectrum of the nonmagnetic quasi-skutterudite (Ca$$_x$$Sr$$_{1-x}$$)$$_3$$Rh$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$, which represents a precious system to explore the interplay between structural instabilities and superconductivity by tuning the Ca concentration x. We unambiguously detect the softening of phonon modes around the M point on cooling towards the structural transition. Intriguingly, at x = 0:85, the soft mode energy squared at the M point extrapolates to zero at -5.7 K, providing the first compelling microscopic evidence of a structural QCP in (Ca$$_x$$Sr$$_{1-x}$$)$$_3$$Rh$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$. The enhanced phonon density-of-states at low energy provides the essential ingredient for realizing strong-coupling superconductivity near the structural QCP.

Effect of $$B$$-site randomness on the antiferroelectric/relaxor nature of the ground state; Diffuse and inelastic X-ray scattering study of Pb(In$$_{1/2}$$Nb$$_{1/2}$$)O$$_3$$

The effect of $$B$$-site randomness on the antiferroelectric/relaxor nature of the ground state was investigated by studying diffuse and inelastic X-ray scattering from ordered and disordered Pb(In$$_{1/2}$$Nb$$_{1/2}$$)O$$_3$$ (O- and D-PIN) single crystals. The diffuse scattering measurement of O-PIN (antiferroelectric at $$T<T_N$$) shows the existence of ferroelectrically interactive local polarization above $$T_N$$. Inelastic X-ray scattering shows that the transverse-acoustic (TA) and transverse-optic (TO) modes are dominant at $$Tsim$$800 K, while the central peak (CP) and TA modes are coupled and majorly contribute to the critical behavior of the diffuse scattering at $$T_N$$. Upon these results, the $$B$$-site randomness is discussed in terms of suppressing the antiferroelectric instability and enhancing the polarization fluctuation.

Inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) experiments of RTAl$$_3$$ ($$R$$ = La Ce, $$T$$ = Cu, Au) were carried out at 300 and 5.5 K. The spectra between LaCuAl$$_3$$ and CeCuAl$$_3$$ (LaAuAl$$_3$$ and CeAuAl$$_3$$) are nearly identical at both temperatures except for temperature factors such as temperature dependence of Bose factor in IXS spectra and effect on thermal expansion. This means that no evident temperature dependence of IXS spectra was observed in CeTAl$$_3$$ ($$T$$ = Cu, Au).

(Ca$$_{0.5}$$Sr$$_{0.5}$$)$$_3$$Rh$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ is a member of the substitution series (Ca$$_{x}$$Sr$$_{1-x}$$)$$_3$$Rh$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ which has recently been argued to feature a structural quantum critical point at $$x_c$$ = 0.9. In the stoichiometric compound Sr$$_{3}$$Rh$$_{4}$$Sn$$_{13}$$, the structural transition at $$T^*$$ $$approx$$ 138 K has been shown to be a second-order phase transition. Moving towards xc, we examine the character of the structural transition in (Ca$$_{0.5}$$Sr$$_{0.5}$$)$$_3$$Rh$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ (i.e. $$x$$ = 0.5, $$T^*$$ $$approx$$ 55 K) using electrical resistivity, heat capacity and X-ray scattering. The absence of the thermal hysteresis in specific heat around $$T^*$$, and the continuous evolution of the superlattice reflection detected by X-ray diffraction are consistent with the scenario that the structural transition associated with a modulation vector $$q$$ = (0.5, 0.5, 0) in (Ca$$_{0.5}$$Sr$$_{0.5}$$)$$_3$$Rh$$_4$$Sn$$_{13}$$ remains second-order on approaching the quantum critical point.

Inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) was performed on polycrystalline Mg$$_{97}$$Zn$$_1$$Y$$_2$$ and Mg$$_{85}$$Zn$$_6$$Y$$_9$$ alloys with synchronized long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase for investigating the impurity effects in the microscopic elastic properties. Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) was also carried out on the former alloy. LA modes were clearly observed in the IXS spectra of both the LPSO alloys, while TA modes can mainly be detected in the second Brillouin zone. Broader inelastic signals and larger quasielastic peaks are characteristic due to the phonon scattering by the Zn/Y impurities. Only the TA excitation energies increase by adding the impurities, which indicates a harder stiffness of the bond angles relating to the L1$$_2$$-type clusters in the LPSO alloys. New dispersion-less excitation modes are observed at about 10 meV by adding the Zn/Y impurities. By comparing with the INS data, the contributions of the impurities to these excitations are discussed using differences in the scattering cross-sections between neutrons and X-rays.

Phonon spectra of detwinned SrFe$$_2$$As$$_2$$ crystals, as measured by inelastic X-ray scattering, show clear anisotropyaccompanying the magnetostructural transition at 200 K. We model the mode splitting using magnetic DFT calculations, including a phenomenological reduction in force-constant anisotropy that can be attributed to magnetic fluctuations. This serves as a starting point for a general model of phonons in this material applicable to both the antiferromagnetically ordered phase and the paramagnetic phase. Using this model, the measured splitting in the magnetic phase below T$$_N$$, and the measured phonon linewidth, we set a lower bound on the mean magnetic fluctuation frequency above T$$_N$$ at 210 K.

Anharmonic Pr guest modes in Pr(Os$$_{1-x}$$Ru$$_x$$)$$_4$$Sb$$_{12}$$ investigated by inelastic X-ray scattering

We have investigated the Ru/Os concentration dependence of the Pr guest mode in Pr(Os$$_{1-x}$$Ru$$_x$$)$$_4$$Sb$$_{12}$$ and its variation with temperature. The Pr guest mode at 3.2 meV in PrOs$$_4$$Sb$$_{12}$$ at the N point linearly shifts to a higher energy with the substitution of Ru into the Os site. The energy of the Pr guest mode decreases with decreasing temperature for all compositions, indicating the presence of an anharmonic potential at the Pr site. The slope of the temperature dependence of the guest mode energy is steeper for pure PrOs$$_4$$Sb$$_{12}$$ than for the other Pr(Os$$_{1-x}$$Ru$$_x$$)$$_4$$Sb$$_{12}$$ compounds we measured. The present results imply the importance of the transition metal in determining anharmonicity in Pr(Os$$_{1-x}$$Ru$$_x$$)$$_4$$Sb$$_{12}$$.

The phonon dynamics of spin-state crossover for perovskite LaCoO$$_3$$ was investigated using infrared and inelastic X-ray spectroscopy. We observed that the Co-O bond stretching phonons couples to the thermally excited spin-state. The momentum dispersion of the optical mode is anomalously dispersionless (less than 3 meV), and this supports the spin-state disproportionation scenario. The steep enhancement of spin-state fluctuation compared to the charge gap suggests the density dependent spin state disproportionation; a simple low spin (LS)/high spin (HS)- or LS/intermediate spin (IS)-state disproportionation is realized at the initial stage with dilute HS- (or IS-) state density, while the complex spin-state disproportionation involving all of the LS-, IS- and HS-state is formed when the density of HS- (or IS-) state is enhanced.

重い電子化合物であるYbRh$$_2$$Si$$_2$$のYb価数の温度磁場依存性をX線吸収分光で観測した。測定からは、何れも突然の変化なしに、Yb価数が2Kから200Kの範囲で温度の下降に伴い減少することと、0Tから33Tの範囲で磁場の増加に伴い増加することが明かになった。Ybの価数は、磁場と温度に依存して、2.92から2.96の範囲であった。価数が2Kでは0Tで2.92で33Tで2.93である点で、YbRh$$_2$$Si$$_2$$は価数揺動状態にあることがわかり、高磁場でも整数価数に届かない。これらの結果はYbの価数が整数価数の3+に非常に近く、降温に伴い減少し、磁場の印加に伴い3+に近づくというこれまでの知識を支持するものである。

Pb(In$$_{1/2}$$Nb$$_{1/2}$$)O$$_{3}$$(PIN)はペロヴスカイトBサイトの秩序度により反強誘電状態,強誘電状態,リラクサー状態を取りうる物質である。秩序PINは鉛複合ペロヴスカイトPb(B'B'')O$$_{3}$$においてBサイトランダムネスのない系であり、Bサイトランダムネスによる反強誘電状態/リラクサー状態の起源を探るには理想的な物質である。われわれはX線非弾性散乱実験を行った。準弾性散乱(QE)は臨界スローダウンを示し横波音響(TA)フォノンは反強誘電転移点($$T_{rm N}$$)までソフト化を示す一方、横波光学モードは低温までソフト化を続けた。これらの結果は、反強誘電相転移はQEの起源とTAフォノンによるものであるが、強誘電相関は確固としてその背後に存在していることを示している。これらの結果を元に、Bサイトランダムネスの効果について議論する。

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) experiments were performed at the Np $$M_{4,5}$$ and the Ga $$K$$ absorption edges of NpNiGa$$_5$$ to investigate the temperature-dependent changes of magnetic properties of Np 5$$f$$ and Ga 4$$p$$ electron states. By the sum-rule analysis of the Np $$M_{4,5}$$ XMCD data, the orbital magnetic moment $$mu_{mathrm{L}}$$ and the spin magnetic moment $$mu_{mathrm{S}}$$ were estimated for the Np 5$$f^3$$ and 5$$f^4$$ electronic configurations, and their comparison with the previous magnetization and neutron scattering experiments suggests that the 5$$f^4$$ configuration is more likely than the 5$$f^3$$ configuration in NpNiGa$$_5$$. It was found that $$|mu_{mathrm{L}}/mu_{mathrm{S}}|$$ tends to increase from the high-temperature low-moment ordered state to the low-temperature high-moment ordered state.

TbMnO$$_{3}$$ exhibits a spontaneous electric polarization along $$mathbf{c}$$ concomitantly with a spiral spin ordering modulated along $$mathbf{b}$$ below $$T$$$$_{rm c}$$ = 28 K. We have performed inelastic X-ray scattering measurements on a single crystal of TbMnO$$_{3}$$ to clarify whether phonon anomalies related to the ferroelectricity exist. We measured transverse modes, especially the Mn-O-Mn bending mode polarized along $$mathbf{c}$$ and propagating along $$mathbf{b}$$, which we expect is most relevant to the ferroelectricity. However, no anomaly was found in the phonon dispersion below 50 meV across $$T$$$$_{rm c}$$. The present result suggests that the mechanism of ferroelectricity in TbMnO$$_3$$ is different from that of a conventional displacive-type ferroelectric. The weak coupling between electric polarization and lattice in TbMnO$$_{3}$$ strongly suggests that the ferroelectricity is mainly derived from the spiral spin ordering.
