Abstract
We investigated optical properties of an electron-doped copper oxide high temperature superconductor, Pr0.85LaCe0.15CuO4 (PLCCO) single crystal. We obtained the optical conductivity from measured reflectance at various temperatures. We found our data contained c-axis longitudinal optical (LO) phonon modes due to miscut and intrinsic lattice distortion. We applied an extended Drude model to study the correlations between charge carriers in the system. The LO phonons appear as strong sharp peaks in the optical scattering rate. We tried to remove the LO phonon modes by using the energy loss function, which also shows the LO phonons as peaks, and could not remove them completely. We extracted the electron-boson spectral density function using a generalized Allen's formula. We observed that the resulting electron-boson density show similar temperature dependence as hole-doped cuprates.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Superconductivity and Cryogenics is the official publication of The Korea Institute of Applied Superconductivity and Cryogenics and the Korean Superconductivity Society. It was launched in 1999, and accepts original research articles and review papers on research on superconductivity and related fields of physics, electronic devices, materials science, large-scale applications for magnets, power and energy, and cryogenics. The Journal is published quarterly in March, June, September, and December each year. Supplemental issues are published occasionally. The official title of the journal is ''Progress in Superconductivity and Cryogenics'' and the abbreviated title is ''Prog. Supercond. Cryog.'' All submitted manuscripts are peer-reviewed by two reviewers. The text must be written in English. All the articles in this journal are KCI and SCOPUS as of 2015. The URL address of the journal is http://psac.kisac.org where full text is available. This work was supported by the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies grant funded by the Korea government.
