Description

We have measured the frequency dependent conductivity at various temperatures below the SDW transition in (TMTSF)2PF6. We find two distinct resonances which we ascribe to internal deformations and pinned mode oscillations of the SDW condensate. Furthermore, the spectral weight of the pinned mode resonance is found to be nearly temperature independent below the SDW transition. Our findings are contrasted with various models and suggestions on the electrodynamics of the SDW ground state. (orig.)
