Abstract
We report an investigation of the lattice dynamical properties of LiFeAs using inelastic light scattering. Five of the six expected phonon modes are observed. The temperature evolution of their frequencies and linewidths is in good agreement with an anharmonic-decay model. We find no evidence for substantial electron-phonon coupling, and no superconductivity-induced phonon anomalies.
