We performed Raman measurements to probe the lattice and spin dynamics of high quality single crystals of CrAs, an antiferromagnetic (AFM) double-helical system that becomes superconducting under pressure[1]. The samples were grown using a flux method, and characterized using XRD and magnetic susceptibility measurements. At the AFM ordering temperature TN = 265 K, below which helical AFM order sets in, the sample exhibits a strong first order structural transition, upon which the lattice parameter b expands by ≈ 3.39%. In the Raman experiments, four Raman active modes with Ag symmetry were observed, as predicted from group theory. All these modes exhibit pronounced anomalies in their frequencies and linewidths across TN. In addition, we found a signature of magnon scattering, and signatures of spin-phonon coupling are discussed. Finally, our high-pressure Raman experiments show the suppression of TN under hydrostatic compression, in agreement with previous studies[1,2].
