Phonon scattering process in raman spectroscopy
The vertical axis is energy and the horizontal axis is k-vector (crystal momentum).
$E_L$ is the energy of the incoming photon, not the phonon.
The vertical arrow on the left describes the process w …

Collective excitations: localized or delocalized?
Phonons are the same. … In reality, phonons, electrons, and other particles / quasiparticles / collective excitation may be anywhere from very localized to very delocalized. …

Why zero chemical potential does not allow the Bose-Einstein Condensation of Phonons?
For phonons, particle number is not conserved, and $\mu$ is always 0 (in equilibrium). Therefore, as T gets lower but $\mu$ stays the same, the occupation of every single mode goes down. …

Why are sound waves associated with modes obeying linear dispersion relation?
Your question seems to have the premise: "The speed of sound is constant by definition, therefore, if high-frequency phonons move significantly faster or slower than low-frequency phonons, those high-frequency … phonons must not be sound waves". …
