Beginning with the mode Gru È neisen parameter, the pressure, temperature and concentration dependences of phonon frequency have been derived under the condition of variable Gru È neisen parameter with pressure, temperature and composition. Fits to the Raman-active E g mode at %450 cm À1 in TiO 2 and Ti 1Àx Zr x O 2 x 0X1 are presented, indicating that the experimental data are somewhat reproduced provided that the mode Gru È neisen parameter in TiO 2 is a variable quantity. Besides, the concentration dependence of phonon frequency with variable Gru È neisen parameter is applied to the Raman band at %500 cm À1 in YBa 2 Cu 3 O x , which is assigned to the A g symmetric stretching mode of the bridging oxygen and changes in frequency with x; it is highlighted that the condition of variable Gru È neisen parameter is significant to reproduce the frequency data, which indicate the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition at x % 6X5 and change nonlinearly with x, whereas the x dependence of the unit-cell volume is almost linear in conformity with Vegard's law.
