Description

We report Raman light-scattering and optical conductivity measurements on a single crystal of La1.775 Sr0.225 NiO4 which exhibits incommensurate charge-stripe order. The extra phonon peaks induced by stripe order can be understood in terms of the energies of phonons that occur at the charge-order wave vector Qc . A strong Fano antiresonance for a Ni-O bond-stretching mode provides clear evidence for finite dynamical conductivity within the charge stripes. (c) 2000 The American Physical Society
