Formation of As-As Bond and Its Effect on Absence of Superconductivity in Collapsed Tetragonal Phase of Ca0.86Pr0.14Fe2As2 : An Optical Spectroscopy Study
read the original abstract
The temperature dependence of in plane optical conductivity has been investigated for Ca0.86Pr0.14Fe2As2 which shows a structural transition from tetragonal (T) to collapsed tetragonal(cT) phase at TcT=73 K. Upon entering the cT phase, drastic change characterized by the formation of a midinfrared peak near 3200 cm-1(0.4 eV) in the optical conductivity is observed.Analysis of the spectral weight reveals reduced electron correlation after the cT phase transition.Based on the calculated band structure and simulated optical conductivity, we attribute the new feature around 0.4 eV to the formation of interlayer As-As bond. The As-As bond strongly affects the Fe-As hybridizations, and in turn, drastically changes the Ca0.86Pr0.14Fe2As2 into a nonmagnetic Fermi liquid system without bulk superconductivity in the cT phase.
