Abstract

Polarized Raman scattering spectra at 300K and 20K are reported for a single crystal of La2CuO4-y before and after annealing in oxygen at 1000°C for 24 hours. Oxygenation strongly quenches the temperature sensitive line at ∼1430 cm-1 (for T ∼ 300K) in the “as grown” crystal, previously identified with magnon-pair excitation associated with two-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering. In addition, the phonon spectrum is greatly modified by the addition of oxygen, indicating a more uniform local crystalline environment after oxygenation. Raman scattering is thus a sensitive probe of the effect of oxygenation on the near surface magnetic and phonon properties of La2CuO4-y.
