Terahertz Hall Measurements On Optimally Doped Single Crystal Bi-2212
The infrared Hall angle in optimally doped single crystal was measured from 3.05 to 21.75 meV as a continuous function of
temperature from 25 to 300\,K. In the normal state, the temperature dependence
of the real part of the cotangent of the infrared Hall angle obeys the same
power law as dc measurements. The measured Hall frequency is
significantly larger than the expected value based upon ARPES data analyzed in
terms of the relaxation time approximation. This discrepancy as well as the
temperature dependence of and is well
described by a Fermi liquid theory in which current vertex corrections produced
by electron-magnon scattering are included.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure

Terahertz Kerr and Reflectivity Measurements on the Topological Insulator Bi2Se3
We report the first terahertz Kerr measurements on bulk crystals of the
topological insulator Bi2Se3. At T=10K and fields up to 8T, the real and
imaginary Kerr angle and reflectance measurements utilizing both linearly and
circularly polarized incident radiation were measured at a frequency of
5.24meV. A single fluid free carrier bulk response can not describe the
line-shape. Surface states with a small mass and surprisingly large associated
spectral weight quantitatively fit all data. However, carrier concentration
inhomogeneity has not been ruled out. A method employing a gate is shown to be
promising for separating surface from bulk effects.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Temperature dependent optical studies of TiCoO
We present the results of Raman and photoluminescence (PL) studies on
epitaxial anatase phase TiCoO films for = 0-0.07, grown by
pulsed laser deposition. The low doped system (=0.01 and 0.02) shows a Curie
temperature of ~700 K in the as-grown state. The Raman spectra from the doped
and undoped films confirm their anatase phase. The photoluminescence spectrum
is characterized by a broad emission from self-trapped excitons (STE) at 2.3 eV
at temperatures below 120 K. This peak is characteristic of the anatase-phase
TiO and shows a small blueshift with increasing doping concentration. In
addition to the emission from STE, the Co-doped samples show two emission lines
at 2.77 eV and 2.94 eV that are absent in the undoped film indicative of a
spin-flip energy.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
