摘要
Optical reflectivity measurements were performed on a single crystal of the d-electron heavy-fermion (HF) metal LiV2O4. Our results evidence the highly incoherent charge dynamics above T-*approximate to 20 K and the redistribution of the spectral weight of the optical conductivity over broad energy scales (similar to 5 eV) as the quantum coherence of the charge carriers is recovered. This reveals that LiV2O4 is close to a correlation-driven insulating state and indicates that, in sharp contrast to f-electron HF Kondo-lattice systems, strong electronic correlation effects dominate the heavy quasiparticle formation in LiV2O4.
