We have studied the temperature dependence of spectroscopic ellipsometry spectra of an electrically insulating, nearly stoichiometric YTiO₃ single crystal with ferromagnetic Curie temperature TC=30 K. The optical response exhibits a weak but noticeable anisotropy. Using a classical dispersion analysis, we identify three low-energy optical bands at 2.0, 2.9, and 3.7 eV....

By muon spin rotation we investigated the magnetic properties of a series of highly Na-doped NaxCoO₂ single crystals with 0.78(1) ≼ x ≼ 0.97(1). Our data provide evidence for an intrinsically inhomogeneous magnetic state which can be described in terms of hole-doping (Na vacancy)-induced magnetic clusters that percolate at 1−x≳0.04 until they yield a bulk...

The phonon spectra of YBa₂Cu₄O₈ polycrystalline samples with different isotope substitution for Ba, Cu, and O have been studied using far-infrared ellipsometry and Raman scattering. The observed isotope shifts of Raman- and infrared-active phonons provide insight into their relative Ba, Cu, and O normal mode content. This allows us to examine mode eigenvectors obtained from lattice...
