A. Speghini et al., COUPLING OF ELECTRONS TO LOW-FREQUENCY PHONONS IN CATION-RADICAL SALTS OF TTF STUDIED BY RESONANCE RAMAN-SCATTERING, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 234, 1993, pp. 219-226
We report results obtained by measuring the low frequency (40-150 cm-1
) resonance Raman scattering (RRS) spectra and excitation profiles of
the cation radical salt (TTF)2(W6O19) whose structure consists of almo
st isolated (TTF+)2 dimers that are characterized by a CT absorption b
and at 850 nm. Quantitative analysis of the RRS data has been performe
d based on a Peierls-Hubbard model for an isolated dimer. The paramete
rs required for the calculation of the RRS data are derived analytical
ly from the microscopic parameters of the Peierls-Hubbard Hamiltonian,
which include the intermolecular (EIP) coupling constants. The excita
tion profiles have been calculated using the time correlator technique
and their fitting provides the first experimental estimates of the EI
P coupling constants.
