As a rare transparent conducting oxide material with p-type conductivity, CuAlO2 can be widely used in fields such as transparent electronic devices and solar cells, but its low conductivity limits its practical applications. In semiconductor materials, there is a direct relationship between the anharmonic effect of phonons and conductivity, which allows for the influence of electrical conductivity by adjusting phonons. However, the anharmonic behavior of phonons in CuAlO2 is still unclear.In thispaper, we prepared CuAl1-xCrxO2 (x=0~0.4) material using a solid-state reaction method and combines X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering spectroscopy, and first principles calculations to study the phonon anharmonic effects of CuAl1-xCrxO2 (x=0~0.4) samples under different pressures and temperatures. The refinement of crystal structure by X-ray diffraction shows that with the increase of Cr doping concentration, the thermal vibration factor of Cu atoms first increases and then decreases, with the maximum thermal vibration factor at x=0.1; Raman scattering spectroscopy and first principles analysis indicate that the Eg and A1g modes are mainly three phonon processes, but the four phonon process of the A1g mode increases with increasing doping concentration. Our research results have important guiding significance for further improving the conductivity of CuAlO2.
