Abstract:
Optical reflectivity measurements were performed on a single crystal of the d-electron heavy-fermion (HF) metal LiV2O4. Our results evidence the highly incoherent charge dynamics above T* approximately 20 K and the redistribution of the spectral weight of the optical conductivity over broad energy scales ( approximately 5 eV) as the quantum coherence of the charge carriers is recovered. This reveals that LiV2O4 is close to a correlation-driven insulating state and indicates that, in sharp contrast to f-electron HF Kondo-lattice systems, strong electronic correlation effects dominate the heavy quasiparticle formation in LiV2O4.

Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.
