Optical Investigations of La7/8Sr1/8MnO3
Abstract
We investigated temperature dependent optical conductivity spectra of La7/8Sr1/8MnO3. Its phonon bending mode starts to be splitted near a structural phase transition temperature. With further cooling, strength of a mid-infrared small polaron peak, which is located at 0.4 eV, becomes increased. These temperature dependent changes in the phonon spectra and the polaron absorption peaks were explained by a phase separation and a percolation-type transition.
