Abstract
The dispersion of bond-stretching vibrations in overdoped (not superconducting) has been studied by high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering. It was found that the doping-induced renormalization of the so-called breathing and half-breathing modes is larger than in optimally doped . On the other hand, the phonon linewidths are generally smaller in the overdoped sample. Features observed in optimally doped which suggest a tendency towards charge stripe formation are absent in overdoped .
