Charge density waves in Sr_14-xCa_xCu_24O_41: electron correlations vs. structural effects
arXiv:cond-mat/0601203 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.73.104428
Abstract
We report inelastic light scattering experiments in the spin-chain and ladder system Sr_14-xCa_xCu_24O_41. A depletion of an electronic background is observed for 0 < x < 5 at low temperatures and with light polarization both parallel to the leg and rung directions. This points to the formation of 2D charge density wave in the ladders. Furthermore, the Ca-substitution dependence of the 305- and 249-cm-1 modes, sensitive to the lattice modulations of the respective chain and ladder system, suggests that the charge dynamics in the ladders is strongly influenced by the structural incommensurability.
