Résumé
We present the optical properties of Na0.7CoO2 single crystals, measured
over a broad spectral range as a function of temperature (T). The
capability to cover the energy range from the far-infrared up to the
ultraviolet allows us to perform reliable Kramers-Kronig transformation,
in order to obtain the absorption spectrum (i.e., the complex optical
conductivity). To the complex optical conductivity we apply the
generalized Drude model, extracting the frequency dependence of the
scattering rate (Gamma) and effective mass (m*) of the itinerant
charge carriers. We find that Gamma(omega) at low temperatures and for
similar to omega. This suggests that Na0.7CoO2 is at the verge of a
spin-density-wave metallic phase.
