Polarization-dependent infrared reflectivity study of under pressure: Charge dynamics, charge distribution, and anisotropy
Abstract
We present a polarization-dependent infrared reflectivity study of the spin-ladder compound Sr₂̣₅Ca₁₁̣₅Cu₂₄O₄₁ under pressure. The optical response is strongly anisotropic, with the highest reflectivity along the ladders/chains (E∥c) revealing a metallic character. For the polarization direction perpendicular to the ladder plane, an insulating behavior is observed. With increasing pressure the optical conductivity for E∥c shows a strong increase, which is most pronounced below 2000cm⁻¹. According to the spectral weight analysis of the E∥c optical conductivity the hole concentration in the ladders increases with increasing pressure and tends to saturate at high pressure. At ~7.5 GPa the number of holes per Cu atom in the ladders has increased by Δδ=0.09(±0.01), and the Cu valence in the ladders has reached the value +2.33. Thus, the optical data suggest that Sr₂̣₅Ca₁₁̣₅Cu₂₄O₄₁ remains electronically highly anisotropic up to high pressure, also at low temperatures.
