TLDR
A Raman scattering study of the lattice dynamics in superlattices of the high-temperature superconductor YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7) (YBCO) and the colossal-magnetoresistance compound La(2/3)Ca(1/3]MnO( 3) that suggests a new approach to this problem.Abstract:
The interaction between electrons and phonons is important for many materials properties. The finding that phonon modes of a superconducting thin film can influence the properties of an adjacent normal conductor, even over comparatively long distances, suggests new ways of controlling electron–phonon interactions. The electron–phonon interaction is of central importance for the electrical and thermal properties of solids, and its influence on superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance and other many-body phenomena in correlated-electron materials is the subject of intense research at present. However, the non-local nature of the interactions between valence electrons and lattice ions, often compounded by a plethora of vibrational modes, presents formidable challenges for attempts to experimentally control and theoretically describe the physical properties of complex materials. Here we report a Raman scattering study of the lattice dynamics in superlattices of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) and the colossal-magnetoresistance compound La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 that suggests a new approach to this problem. We find that a rotational mode of the MnO6 octahedra in La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 experiences pronounced superconductivity-induced line-shape anomalies, which scale linearly with the thickness of the YBCO layers over a remarkably long range of several tens of nanometres. The transfer of the electron–phonon coupling between superlattice layers can be understood as a consequence of long-range Coulomb forces in conjunction with an orbital reconstruction at the interface. The superlattice geometry thus provides new opportunities for controlled modification of the electron–phonon interaction in complex materials.read more

TL;DR: A time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) study reveals that CH3NH3PbI3 exhibits notably longer carrier lifetime than that of CH3ND3P bI3, in both thin-film and single-crystal formats, and suggests that vibrational modes in methylammonium (MA(+)) have little impact on carrier lifetime.
