Abstract: | We present the site-charge distribution in the charge-ordered and metallic states of α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3, based on the assignment of the C=C stretching modes ν2, ν3, and ν27 of α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 with the aid of 13C- and deuterium-substituted compounds. The nonuniform site charges in both the metallic and insulating phases were consistent with those determined by a recent x-ray diffraction study. Comparing the line shapes of the charge-sensitive vibrational modes of α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 with those of isostructural α-(BEDT-TTF)2NH4Hg(SCN)4, we propose a thermally activated fluctuation of charge order in the metallic phase of α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3. This fluctuation was considerably suppressed above 0.65 GPa. The optical conductivity in the metallic phase shows no Drude response. |
