Abstract
We report results of a Raman scattering study of superconducting YNi2B 2C with T-c = 15.2 K. A redistribution of low-frequency light scatteri ng intensity is observed in the temperature range 10-200 K. It is inte rpreted in terms of electron-hole excitations and their scattering due to impurities and phonons. The scattering rate is found to decrease l inearly with temperature.
