摘要
We investigated temperature-dependent optical conductivity spectra of a Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3 single crystal. We found that polishing and surface scattering effects on the Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3 crystal surfaces could significantly distort the optical responses, especially in the mid-infrared region. However, oxygen annealing and gold normalization processes seemed to remedy the distortions. We found that the spectral weight of Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3 in the metallic state might be composed of a Drude carrier term and a strong incoherent mid-infrared absorptions. The temperature dependence of the spectral weight suggests that the electron-lattice coupling should be important in optical properties of colossal magnetoresistance manganites.
