| Abstract: | The magnetic state in LaCoO3 changes from the low spin state (S=0) to the mixed state with a thermally excited intermediate spin state (IS) (S=1) above about 50 K. The partially filled e(g) orbital in the IS state has a nature of Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion. The cooperative JT distortion causes an orbital order. We found that all Raman active phonon modes are affected by the excitation of IS Co3+ ions. Especially, the JT vibration mode shows anomalous temperature dependence. |
