The effect of Cu substitution on the A1g mode of La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO3 manganites
2003
We report on the first Raman data of Cu substituted La(1-y)Sr(y)Mn(1-x)Cu(x)O3 (0 < x < 0.10 and 0.17 < y < 0.3, accordingly in order to have the same Mn(4+)/[Mn(4+)+Mn(3+)] ratio), collected in the frequency range 100-900 cm-1 and at room temperature, with parallel and crossed polarizations of the incident and scattered light. Spectra were fitted with a Drude-Lorentz model, and peaks at 190-220 and 430 cm-1, together with two broad structures centered at near 500 and 670 cm-1, have been found. We also have observed that the A1g mode is substantially shifted with increasing Cu substitution. The A1g phonon shift is a linear function of the tolerance factor t and the rhombohedral …
Coulomb interaction in disordered metals and HTSC
2001
Abstract We consider underdoped or overdoped cuprates as disordered conductors. The diffusion coefficient D can be as low as 10 −5 m 2 s −1 . Under these conditions Coulomb interaction between electrons must be taken into account. The main effect is to open a dip in the density of state near the Fermi level. We show that this model explains most of the observed features of the so-called “pseudogap” in the normal state including its value, anisotropy and variation with doping. Such a model applied to disordered metals explains the dips observed in conductance measurements.
Effect ofA-site andB-site substitution on the infrared reflectivity spectra ofLa1−yAyMn1−xBxO3(A=Ba,Sr;B=Cu,Zn,Sc;0<y<~0.3;0<~x<~0.1)mang…
2003
We have measured the infrared reflectivity spectra of ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}y}[\mathrm{Sr}(\mathrm{Ba}){]}_{y}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}[\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{Zn},\mathrm{Sc}){]}_{x}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ $(0lyl~0.3,0l~xl~0.10)$ manganites, in a wide frequency $(100\char21{}4000{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1})$ and temperature (80 K\char21{}300 K) range. The reflectivity spectra were analyzed by a fitting procedure based on a model that includes Drude, midinfrared electronic, and phonon oscillator contributions to the dielectric constant. Six infrared active ${(3A}_{u}$ and ${3E}_{u})$ modes of rhombohedral symmetry are clearly observed. We assigned all observed modes according to e…
