    Charge density wave paraconductivity in K0.3MoO3
    (1994) Gorshunov, Boris P.; Volkov, Alexander; Kozlov, Gennadij V.; Degiorgi, Leonardo; Blank, A.; Csiba, T.; Dressel, Martin; Kim, Yong; Schwartz, A.; Grüner, George
    The dynamic conductivity has been measured in K0.3MnO3 single crystals in the conducting phase (above 180 K), for the first time over a broad frequency range 1-105 cm-1, using a combination of different spectroscopic techniques. Together with a pseudogap, clearly pronounced excitations are observed below 50 cm-1 for E||b, the direction along which the charge density wave develops. We associate these excitations with charge-density-wave fluctuations which exist even at room temperature and give a collective contribution to the conductivity. For the transverse polarization, E|b, a usual single-particle Drude behavior of the conductivity is observed.

    Far infrared response of α- and αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3
    (1990) Zelezný, Vladimir; Petzelt, Jan; Swietlik, Roman; Gorshunov, Boris P.; Volkov, Alexander; Kozlov, Gennadij; Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.
    The temperature dependence of the reflectivity of α- and αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 was determined in the 10-700 cm-1 range. Moreover the transmission spectra of α-phase between 10 and 33 cm-1 were studied. Using Kramers-Kronig analysis the IR conductivity and permittivity were calculated. The similarity of α t and β-phases was confirmed. The spectra in the metallic phase are dominated by a broad electronic peak between 200 and 500 cm-1 which can be understood as due to transitions across the small gap whose origin is discussed. In the spectra a rich phonon peak structure is observed, mostly of vibronic origin. It is suggested that non totally symmetric modes of BEDT-TTF molecule can couple with electrons.
