Optical spectra posses a threshold character, a sharp decrease of transmission and photocoductivity signal occurs in the energy region h$\nu$>1.5 MeV. C($\omega$,T) and G($\omega$, T) dependences have a universal form typical of Debye type relaxation processes. Relaxation time dependence is of thermoactivated character $\tau$(T)\~{}exp($\xi$/T) with the gap value $\xi$≅2 meV. It is assumed that excitations with characteristic energy of \~{}2 meV exist in La2CuO4. A possible nature of the detected low-energy excitations is discussed.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1688), last updated on Thu, 27 May 2021 21:17:11 -0500", opturl="https://inis.iaea.org/search/searchsinglerecord.aspx?recordsFor=SingleRecord&RN=22081972" }
