Abstract This paper presents a microscopic theory to explain different Raman modes of La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 based on the electronic Hamiltonian of the Kondo lattice model, which adds phonon interaction to the hybridization between the conduction electrons of the system and the l-electrons. The spectral density is calculated by the Green function technique of Zubarev at zero wave vector and in the low temperature limit. It finds that there are three Raman-active modes and the spectral densities of these modes are substantially influenced by model parameters such as the position of l-level ($\varepsilon$JT), the effective electron--phonon coupling strength (g) and the hybridization parameter (v). Finally, the intensity changes of those peaks are investigated.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
