Abstract:
Photoinduced IR absorption measurements are reported on WO3. A photoinduced midinfrared small polaron peak centered at 4800 cm-1 (0.59 eV) was observed. The data were analyzed in the framework of the photon-assisted small-polaron hopping theory and briefly
compared to previously published infrared absorption measurements in WO3 and photoinduced IR absorption measurements in high Tc cuprates.
