Evidence of phonon mediated coupling between charge transfer and ligand field excitons in Sr2CuO2Cl2
Abstract
We present a comparative experimental and theoretical investigation of the two--dimensional charge-transfer gap in the strongly correlated material Sr2CuO2Cl2. We observe an Urbach behaviour in the absorption profile over a surprisingly wide range of energies and temperatures. We present a model that accounts for phonon scattering to infinite order and which allows us to explain the data accurately by assuming coupling of the charge transfer gap exciton to lower energy electronic excitations.
