Photoexcited polarons in high-temperature superconducting oxides: Structural distortion and low-frequency polarizability. Technical report, 1990-1991

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5411232
Photoinduced absorption measurements have been carried out in the infrared spectral range on a series of parent oxides of high temperature superconductors. In all three materials, the observation of infrared active vibrational (IRAV) modes and an associated electronic transition with common intensity and temperature dependence indicate the formation of self-localized polarons as photogenerated carriers. The photoinduced electronic transition deep in the infrared implies a major shift of oscillator strength leading to a large local polarizability in the vicinity of the polaron.
