Abstract

Optical spectroscopy has a long history of being used to study diverse systems, ranging from liquids, to solid state materials, even to stars. In materials science, it is used to study, for instance, the free charge carrier response, the superconducting condensate, phonons, magnons and bandgaps. Revealing the electronic and phononic excitations can yield clues for understanding the macroscopic properties and the role of competing degrees of freedom in several materials. In this thesis, advanced Raman and infrared spectroscopy techniques, which present complementary methods,will be used to investigate several types of material systems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that \({\omega }_{pl}\) is in units of \({s}^{-1}\) in Eq. (3.17), and of cm−1 in Eq. (3.18).

  2. 2.

    There are certain types of superconducting systems, where the application of an external magnetic field can recover the macroscopic coherence [22, 23].

  3. 3.

    The spectrometer in Grenoble is the new version (VERTEX 80v) of the one at Fribourg University (VERTEX 70v) and similar, so that the principles mentioned above still hold.

  4. 4.

    Note, that in the same year G. Landsberg and L. Mandelstam discovered independently the same effect, which is nowadays known as Raman scattering. They published their findings even one week before Raman and Krishnan in a preliminary report. Later in that year, their results appeared in the journal Naturwissenschaften [35].
