ABSTRACT
Raman spectroscopy is usually used as a standard technique for studying the vibrational spectra in solids. In the study of boride systems, the possibilities of the method turned out to be much richer, allowing one to study not only phononic but also electronic excitations and various types of electron and phonon interactions. The main objective of this chapter is to review the experimental and theoretical work on the study of the lattice dynamics, electronic excitations, and various interactions (electron–phonon, phonon– phonon, magnetic, etc.) in rare-earth and transition-metal borides.
