Polar phonons of HgCr2S4 and CdCr2S4 are studied by far-infrared spectroscopy as a function of temperature and external magnetic field. Eigenfrequencies, damping constants, effective plasma frequencies and Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relations, and effective charges are determined. Ferromagnetic CdCr2S4 and antiferromagnetic HgCr2S4 behave rather similar. Both compounds are dominated by ferromagnetic exchange and although HgCr2S4 is an antiferromagnet, no phonon splitting can be observed at the magnetic phase transition. Temperature and magnetic field dependence of the eigenfrequencies show no anomalies indicating displacive polar soft mode behavior. However, significant effects are detected in the temperature dependence of the plasma frequencies indicating changes in the nature of the bonds and significant charge transfer. In HgCr2S4 we provide experimental evidence that the magnetic field dependence of specific polar modes reveal shifts exactly correlated with the magnetization showing significant magneto-dielectric effects even at infrared frequencies.
The effect of dispersive optical phonons on the behaviour of a Holstein polaron
本文利用无近似的Bold Diagrammatic Monte Carlo方法研究了光学声子模的有限色散对Holstein极化子性质，特别是其有效质量的影响。对于弱的电子-声子耦合，这种影响很小，但对于中等和大的电子-声子耦合，它变得显著。有效质量被发现增加（减少），如果声子色散有一个负（正）曲率在中心的布里渊区。
