Abstract The family of transition-metal dipnictides, $MX_{2}$ ($M$: metal, $X$: N, P, As, Sb, and Bi), has emerged as an important quantum material system due to its unique physical properties, such as large magnetoresistance, colossal Seebeck coefficients, and Weyl semimetal characteristics. In order to study the $M$-site ions effect on the lattice structure and the related dynamics, we compared two isostructural compounds, FeSb$_{2}$ and RuSb$_{2}$. Neutron diffraction, specific heat, and Raman scattering spectra of RuSb$_{2}$ were measured. We found that the thermal expansion coefficients are isotropic for RuSb$_{2}$, in contrast to the anisotropic behavior reported previously in FeSb$_{2}$. Moreover, the specific heat of RuSb$_{2}$ shows a boson-like anomaly around 25 K. Four of the six predicted vibrational modes were identified by polarized Raman scattering spectra and successfully simulated by ab initio calculations. Meanwhile, the temperature-dependent linewidths reveal that phonon-phonon interactions might dominate above 50 K, while electron-phonon coupling remains relatively weak.

Online attention
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.
