Infrared Hall conductivity of Na$_{0.7}$CoO$_2$

We report infrared Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}(ω)$ of Na$_{0.7}$CoO$_2$ thin films determined from Faraday rotation angle $θ_{F}$ measurements. $σ_{xy}(ω)$ exhibits two types of hole conduction, Drude and incoherent carriers. The coherent Drude carrier shows a large renormalized mass and Fermi liquid-like behavior of Hall scattering rate, $γ_{H} \sim aT^{2}$. The spectral weight is suppressed and disappears at T = 120K. The incoherent carrier response is centered at mid-IR frequency and shifts to lower energy with increasing T. Infrared Hall constant is positive and almost independent of temperature in sharp contrast with the dc-Hall constant.

Infrared Hall effect in underdoped and optimally doped LSCO

We report a study of magneto-optical properties in the mid-infrared region of a series of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ samples with hole doping level ranging from severely underdoped ($x=0.03$)to optimally doped ($x=0.15$). The Faraday rotation and circular dichroism are measured in a magnetic field of 8 Tesla and in a temperature range between 30K and 300K. The doping and temperature dependence of infrared Hall angle is found to be understood within a simple Drude model. A significant increase of Hall frequency is observed when the hole doping level is reduced from optimal doping, which is compared with models of the pseudogap.
