We analyse infrared-visible-near-ultraviolet spectra of oxide materials in the semiconducting or metallic phase. We show that the response of laser-ablated YBa2Cu3O7 film can be fitted by a modified Drude term without mid-infrared absorptions. Mid-infrared and visible absorptions are discussed for textured YBaCuO, BaBiO3 and Pr2NiO4+δ as well as indication of their polaronic origin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
