A matrix element of the dipole transitions is used to calculate the frequency dependence of the interband optical conductivity U(W) and of the real part E, (a) of the complex permittivity for two directions of polarization of an optical wave relative to the hexagonal c axis of the crystal (Elc and Ellc). The anisotropy of the optical absorption is considered in the photon energy range %J = 0-25 eV. An experimental investigation is reported of the optical properties of a Tc film with the (0001 ) orientation at photon energies E = 0.62-10 eV. A strong absorption band is attributed to the (d-d,p) electron transitions. It is shown that there is a satisfactory agreement between the experimentally observed and calculated functions a, (o) and E: (w)

The number of Raman modes observed for the first high-pressure phases was found to be significantly less than expected from selection rules for the proposed GeS-type orthorhombic structure. The observations are consistent with the alternative assignment as CrB-type. In the case of PbS, the disappearance of the intermediate-phase Raman lines in the pressure range of 19–25 GPa, i.e., in the vicinity of the orthorhombic to CsCl-type phase transition, is accompanied by a strong increase in a structureless background. The Raman background is attributed to light scattering by charge carriers in the metallic CsCl-type phase.

The method of optically stimulated electron emission (OSEE) was used to analyze features specific to disordering of the film structure. Spectrum dependences of the OSEE are described in terms of the formalism of Urbach's emission rule. It was found that the discrete continuum disturbances arising upon implantation considerably distort the spectrum of the electronic and vibrational states of the SiO 2 matrix. Results of the experiment and the numerical simulation provide evidence for the activation tunneling of electrons from optically excited surface states of SiO 2 to a vacuum.

Research paper thumbnail of Interaction of YBa2Cu3O6.8 with atmospheric moisture during low-temperature annealing

It has been found that the penetration of water into the 123 structure leads to its transition to a hydride-oxyhydroxide H2x − z YBa2Cu3O y + x − z (OH) z containing fragments of the 124-type structure and exhibiting the spectrum of two-magnon scattering characteristic of antiferromagnetic 123 á compositions; in this case, the superconducting properties of the material as a whole are conserved. After short-time recovery annealing and subsequent oxidation, the water is removed from the compound structure, which leads to the disappearance of the spectrum of spin fluctuations. A possible mechanism of change in the 123 structure upon hydrogen and water intercalation has been discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of Features of Optical Properties and the Electronic Structure of Nanostructured Oxides of 3d-Metals

Trends in Magnetism, 2011

Absorption and reflection spectra, Raman spectra, and ellipsometry measurements are carried out on the samples of oxide nanostructured ceramics. High-density nanoceramics were prepared by shock-wave loading and high pressure torsion methods from coarse-grain oxide powders. Strong smearing of the fundamental absorption edge is revealed for all nanoceramics. Anomalous red shift of the absorption edge E g is found in CuO nanooxide. The features of the optical functions in nanooxides of 3d-metals may be attributed to high defectiveness of nanooxides, peculiarities in the electronic structure of strongly correlated oxides and their tendency to electronic phase separation.

It is found that phonon damping decreases upon an increase in the wavelength of exciting radiation. The obtained results are compared with the dependence of the phonon width on the excitation energy (the probed wave vector of the excitations under investigation), which are presented for the first time for the transition metal osmium, as well as with the calculated electron-phonon renormalization of damping, taking into account the actual distribution of wave vectors.

Physics of the Solid State, 2013

The average diameter of particles of the initial nanocomposites after the gas phase synthesis, including the carbon shell, is less than 15 nm and can vary as a function of the conditions and regimes used for their preparation. The shell of the initial nanocomposites, irrespectively of the metal core type, consists of carbon fragments in the form of curved layers with sizes of less than 10 nm in the lateral direction. In the initial nanocomposites, there is no periodicity in the packing of carbon layers in the radial and lateral directions. The structure of the coating is assumed to be similar to the glassy carbon structure characterized by a curvature of carbon layers in different directions, which requires that, in addition to conventional hexagonal cells, the layers should contain pentagonal and heptagonal cells. Heat treatment of the initial nanocomposites Fe@C and Ni@C in butane (700°C, 60 min) not only signifi cantly increases the thickness of the carbon coating but also increases the degree of ordering of curved carbon fragments in the lateral and radial directions. In composites with Fe, Ni, and Co, along with this form of car bon, semiconducting nanotubes with a diameter of 1.3-1.5 nm are also formed. The composites with silver nanoparticles exhibit the effect of time fluctuating giant enhancement of the Raman scattering intensity.

Significant changes occur in the phonon and high-frequency Raman spectra at temperatures from 320 to 450 K. The results imply a singularity in the electron spectrum near the Fermi energy and low-frequency excitations appear due to a rearrangement of oxygen in the structure and reduction of local symmetry by the heating.

Despite a significant increase in unit-cell volume ͑ϳ4.5%͒, the crystalline structure remains stable in this fluence range. The irradiation results in a paramagnetic contribution to magnetic susceptibility and to a strong ͑by 4 orders of magnitude͒ increase in heat capacity at low temperatures ͑T Ͻ 20 K͒ due to electron contribution with a T dependence characteristic of multilevel electron systems ͑the Schottky anomaly͒.

Physical Review B, 2005

Under hydrostatic conditions (He pressure medium) the phonon frequency increases at a rate of 0.73(5) cm −1 /GPa (T = 300 K). A large temperature-induced and wavelength-dependent frequency shift of the phonon frequency is observed, of which only a small fraction can be associated with the thermal volume change. The main contribution to the temperature dependence of the phonon frequency is rather attributed to non-adiabatic effects in the electron-phonon interaction, which explains also the observation of an increasing phonon line width upon cooling. The phonon line width and the pressure-induced frequency shift were found to be unusually sensitive to shear stress.

Two new lines were found in the spectra taken under nonresonant conditions for the allowed E 2g phonon mode. They are observed only for probing wave vector q direction along the hexagonal axis, indicating a strong interaction with charge density fluctuations coupled to the longitudinal [0001] phonon branch. The intensity of the high-frequency A 1g doublet line decreases upon heating to 300 K, its symmetry and energy are consistent with 3c superlattice formation at lower temperatures. The new low-energy mode shows a much weaker temperature dependence of its strength and is assumed to be activated in the Raman spectra due to finite probing q-magnitude.

The number of Raman modes observed for the first high-pressure phases was found to be significantly less than expected from selection rules for the proposed GeS-type orthorhombic structure. The observations are consistent with the alternative assignment as CrB-type. In the case of PbS, the disappearance of the intermediate-phase Raman lines in the pressure range of 19–25 GPa, i.e., in the vicinity of the orthorhombic to CsCl-type phase transition, is accompanied by a strong increase in a structureless background. The Raman background is attributed to light scattering by charge carriers in the metallic CsCl-type phase.

It has been found that the penetration of water into the 123 structure leads to its transition to a hydride-oxyhydroxide H2x − z YBa2Cu3O y + x − z (OH) z containing fragments of the 124-type structure and exhibiting the spectrum of two-magnon scattering characteristic of antiferromagnetic 123 á compositions; in this case, the superconducting properties of the material as a whole are conserved. After short-time recovery annealing and subsequent oxidation, the water is removed from the compound structure, which leads to the disappearance of the spectrum of spin fluctuations. A possible mechanism of change in the 123 structure upon hydrogen and water intercalation has been discussed.

The features of the optical functions in nanooxides of 3d-metals may be attributed to high defectiveness of nanooxides, peculiarities in the electronic structure of strongly correlated oxides and their tendency to electronic phase separation.

Despite a significant increase in unit-cell volume ͑ϳ4.5%͒, the crystalline structure remains stable in this fluence range.

Under hydrostatic conditions (He pressure medium) the phonon frequency increases at a rate of 0.73(5) cm −1 /GPa (T = 300 K). A large temperature-induced and wavelength-dependent frequency shift of the phonon frequency is observed, of which only a small fraction can be associated with the thermal volume change. The main contribution to the temperature dependence of the phonon frequency is rather attributed to non-adiabatic effects in the electron-phonon interaction, which explains also the observation of an increasing phonon line width upon cooling. The phonon line width and the pressure-induced frequency shift were found to be unusually sensitive to shear stress.

Two new lines were found in the spectra taken under nonresonant conditions for the allowed E 2g phonon mode. They are observed only for probing wave vector q direction along the hexagonal axis, indicating a strong interaction with charge density fluctuations coupled to the longitudinal [0001] phonon branch. The intensity of the high-frequency A 1g doublet line decreases upon heating to 300 K, its symmetry and energy are consistent with 3c superlattice formation at lower temperatures. The new low-energy mode shows a much weaker temperature dependence of its strength and is assumed to be activated in the Raman spectra due to finite probing q-magnitude.
