Abstract
We report on a study of phonons in diamond using a new instrument for high resolution inelastic x-ray scattering at the Advanced Photon Source. We have paid particular attention to possible overbending of the most energetic branches, i.e., LO along both ( ) and ( ) and the elliptically polarized branch along ( ). Overbending along all three directions has been invoked in recent years to explain a famous and extraordinary peak in the two-phonon Raman spectrum. Our data reveal overbending only along .
