In-plane terahertz response of thin filmSr2RuO4
Abstract
The low-energy electron dynamics of the quasi-two-dimensional electron-hole multiorbital system ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}\mathrm{Ru}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ is investigated by time-domain terahertz spectroscopy for a thin film sample. The direct observation of the real and imaginary part of the optical conductivity below 8 meV clearly demonstrates a narrowing of the coherent quasiparticle response with decreasing temperature. The optical conductivity spectra, dc conductivity, and Hall coefficient can be quantitatively well described by the multiband Drude-Lorentz model, from which band dependent scattering rates can be extracted. The resulting modest band dependent scattering rates, which are lower than 2 meV at 4 K, support a rather isotropic relaxation regime.

When film thickness is much smaller than the THz wavelength, the thin-film approximation can be applied, allowing the complex sheet conductivity to be extracted from transmission measurements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
