Static and time-resolved optical spectroscopy on Lithium Iridate

ORAL

Abstract

We use FTIR and pump-probe spectroscopy to study lithium iridates. The IR spectrum shows an anomalous peak which emerges as temperature is reduced and is highly anisotropic in the ab-plane polarization. In the time-domain we observe similarly anisotropic reflectivity transients whose multiple dynamic components evolve as temperature is reduced.
