Plasmon Dispersion and Anisotropy in Polymeric Sulfur Nitride,(SN)x

Abstract: Plasmon dispersion and anisotropy in the metallic polymer (SN) X were investigated directly by electron-energy-loss spectroscopy 0 A positive dispersion relation was observed for plasmons propagating along the polymer-chain b axis. As the plasmon wave vector changes from parallel to perpendicular to the b axis, the plasmon energy decreases from 2.5 to 1.5 eV consistent with the view that (SN) X is a poor conductor in the perpendicular direction rather than a quasi-one-dimensional metal 0

“…Now, a series of experiments [2,6 to 81 classifies (SN), as an anisotropic three-dimensional metal. Chen et al [6] first reported electron energy loss measurements on crystalline (SN), showing also a plasmon with polarization perpendicular to the chain axis. It was the aim of this work to extend these investigations concerning the range of momentum transfer and to perform a KKA of the spectra in order to compare it to existing optical data.…”

“…Measurements of the plasmon dispersion in the context of quasi-one-dimensional conducting compounds have been reported up to now only for the organic charge-transfer salt TTF-TCNQ, 27 for polymeric (SN) x , 28 and recently for the transition metal tetrachalco-halogenide (TaSe 4 ) 2 I. 29 For the latter compound, a quasilinear plasmon-dispersion relation over a wide momentum range for the direction parallel to the 1D axis was found.…”

“…The zero crossing of the real part of the dielectric function was then calculated in Ref. 28 as a function of the propagation angle according to ʈ cos 2 ()ϩ Ќ sin 2 () ϭ0 to give the plasmon energy. A cos dependence for the plasmon energy was thereby arrived at, as predicted from all theoretical models neglecting the interchain coupling as far as mediated by a finite transverse electron-hopping probability.…”

“…Electron loss measurements [4] on (SN), yielded an anisotropic plasmon energy which deviated significantly from (I), but in fact was quantitatively explained by a simple 3D model with an effective mass ratio nzl/rnll = 1.9. Furthermore, the agreement between theory and experiment for the plasmon dispersion supports the conclusion that the (SN), electronic structure is three-dimensional in character, so that the unusually anisotropic conductivity may be dominated by the fiber arrangement of the polymer chains.…”
