Spectroscopic evidence for a charge-density-wave condensate in a charge-ordered manganite: Observation of collective excitation mode in PrCaMnO by using THz time-domain spectroscopy

arXiv:cond-mat/0106129 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.66.024401

Abstract

THz time-domain spectroscopy was used to directly probe the low-energy (0.5--5 meV) electrodynamics of the charge-ordered manganite PrCaMnO. We revealed the existence of a finite peak structure around 2--3 meV well below the charge gap meV. In analogy to the low-energy optical properties of the well-studied low-dimensional materials, we attributed this observed structure to the collective excitation mode arising from the charge-density-wave condensate. This finding provides the importance role of the quasi-one dimensional nature of the charge and orbital ordering in PrCaMnO.
