Abstract

We reported the optical conductivity spectra of the Ruddlesden-Popper series ruthenates, i.e., Srn+1RunO3n+1 and Can+1RunO3n+1, where n=1, 2, and `. Among various optical transitions, we investigated two Ru-O related modes, i.e., the charge-transfer excitation and the transverse stretching phonon. We found that their frequency shifts are not much affected by a structural dimensionality, but are closely related to the Ru-O bond length. Through the quantitative analysis of the charge-transfer excitation energy, we could demonstrate that the p–d hybridization should play an important role in determining their electronic structure. In addition, we discussed how the electronic excitation could contribute the lattice dynamics in the metallic ruthenates
