Evidence of phonon mediated coupling between charge transfer and ligand field excitons in Sr 2 CuO 2 Cl

چکیده
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.

Parity-forbidden excitations of Sr(2)CuO(2)Cl(2) revealed by optical third-harmonic spectroscopy.
We present the first study of nonlinear optical third-harmonic generation (THG) in the strongly correlated charge-transfer insulator Sr(2)CuO(2)Cl(2). For fundamental excitation in the near infrared, the THG spectrum reveals a strongly resonant response for photon energies near 0.7 eV. Polarization analysis reveals this novel resonance to be only partially accounted for by three-photon excitati...
متن کاملDynamic charge inhomogeneity in cuprate superconductors.
The inelastic x-ray scattering spectrum for phonons of Δ(1) symmetry, including the CuO bond-stretching phonon dispersion, is analyzed by means of Lorentz fitting for HgBa(2)CuO(4) and Bi(2)Sr(2)CuO(6), using recently calculated phonon frequencies as input parameters. The resulting mode frequencies of the fit are almost all in good agreement with the calculated data. An exception is the case fo...

The synthesis, spectroscopy and magnetic characterization of five new dinuclear copper(II) complexes are described. All five compounds have the general formula [Cu2(L)4(O-R)2](Cl)2 or [Cu2(L)2(Cl)2](Cl)2, in which R = CH3 or H, L=2, 3 or 4-pyridinemethanol as L2, L3 or L4, respectively. The title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging methoxo groups in [Cu2(L4)4(O-CH3)2](Cl)2, hydro...

Polaronic features of dopant{induced charge carriers are manifest in recent experiments on La 2?x Sr x CuO 4+y and La 2?x Ni x CuO 4+y. To study the formation of hole (bi)polarons in such systems exhibiting strong Coulomb interactions, the Holstein{t{J model is examined by means of a variational diagonalization technique for a wide range of phonon frequencies and electron-phonon (EP) couplings ...

The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. The phonon-mediated attractive interaction between carriers leads to the Cooper pair formation in conventional superconductors. Despite decades of research, the glue holding Cooper pairs in high-temperature superconducting cuprates is still controversial, and the same is true f...
