摘要:

本文系统地研究了在宽温区$T=10-800$ K范围内,在淬火无序存在下,一系列近半掺杂的巨磁电阻锰氧化物RE $_{0.55}$ AE $_{0.45}$ MnO $_3$(RE和AE分别为稀土和碱土金属离子)的带宽控制的光学性质.化合物的基态从电荷和轨道有序绝缘体到自旋玻璃再到铁磁金属。增强的相位起伏,即短程电荷和轨道相关性主导了所有基态相位以上的相图的顺磁区域。该顺磁区域的特征在于通过全间隙到伪间隙交叉朝向升高的温度,其中宽的低能量电子结构出现在电导率谱中的带宽的大的变化。这种具有局域关联的赝能隙态至少在T=800 K以下对热涨落是鲁棒的。对于小带宽的发病的长程电荷秩序是伴随着间隙的瞬时增加。铁磁态的出现在光谱中表现为具有中等带宽的化合物的一阶绝缘体到金属的转变,而在较大带宽侧则变为二阶转变。在铁磁态下观察到金属载流子的异常大的散射率,这归因于可能具有棒状($3z^2-r^2$ -like)特征的轨道相关。

英文摘要:

We present a systematic optical study for a bandwidth-controlled series of nearly half doped colossal magnetoresistive manganites RE$_{0.55}$AE$_{0.45}$MnO$_3$ (RE and AE being rare earth and alkaline earth ions, respectively) under the presence of quenched disorder over a broad temperature region $T=10-800$ K. The ground state of the compounds ranges from the charge and orbital ordered insulator through the spin glass to the ferromagnetic metal. The enhanced phase fluctuations, namely the short-range charge and orbital correlations dominate the paramagnetic region of the phase diagram above all the ground-state phases. This paramagnetic region is characterized by a full-gap to pseudo-gap crossover towards elevated temperatures where a broad low-energy electronic structure appears in the conductivity spectra over a large variation of the bandwidth. This pseudo-gap state with local correlations is robust against thermal fluctuations at least up to T=800 K. For small bandwidth the onset of the long-range charge order is accompanied by an instantaneous increase of the gap. The emergence of the ferromagnetic state is manifested in the optical spectra as a first-order insulator to metal transition for compounds with moderate bandwidth while it becomes a second-order transition on the larger bandwidth side. Unusually large scattering rate of the metallic carriers is observed in the ferromagnetic state which is attributed to orbital correlation with probably rod-like ($3z^2-r^2$-like) character.
