Plasmon dispersion and the dielectric function in YBa2Cu4O8 single crystals

TLDR
In this paper, the in-plane loss function between 0 and 50 eV and the plasmon dispersion of YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 single crystals were investigated and the Fermi velocity and the effective mass of the charge carriers were derived.
Abstract
Electron energy-loss spectroscopy studies have been performed in order to investigate the in-plane loss function between 0 and 50 eV and the plasmon dispersion of YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 single crystals. Strongly anisotropic dielectric functions and plasmon frequencies have been observed. The plasmon dispersion has been found to be quadratic, with an a-b anisotropy of about two. The Fermi velocity and the effective mass of the charge carriers could be derived.

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy: A versatile tool for the investigations of plasmonic excitations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the improvements of the electron energy-loss spectrometer in the last years, summarize current possibilities with this technique, and give examples where the investigation of the plasmon dispersion allows insight into the interplay of the conduction electrons with other degrees of freedom.

Anomalous attenuation of plasmons in strange metals and holography

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in strongly entangled strange metals plasmons are always short-lived, regardless of their wavelength, and decay into a quantum critical continuum, which replaces Landau damping at any wavelength.

Density response of holographic metallic IR fixed points with translational pseudo-spontaneous symmetry breaking

TL;DR: In this paper, the density response of charged liquids contains a collective excitation known as the plasmon, which is traced back to the presence of zero-sound in holographic systems with translational invariance.

Possible high Tc superconductivity in the Ba-La-Cu-O system

TL;DR: In this paper, Ba−La−Cu−O system, with the composition BaxLa5−xCu5O5(3−y) have been prepared in polycrystalline form, and samples with x=1 and 0.75,y>0, annealed below 900°C under reducing conditions, consist of three phases, one of them a perovskite-like mixed-valent copper compound.

Optical spectra of La2-xSrxCuO4 : effect of carrier doping on the electronic structure of the CuO2 plane

TL;DR: The resulting spectrum in the high-{ital T}{sub {ital c}} regime is suggestive of a strongly itinerant character of the state in the moderately doped CuO{sub 2} plane while appreciable weight remains in the charge-transfer energy region.
