Abstract

We have measured the optical conductivity of single crystal [Formula presented] from 10 to [Formula presented] at temperatures between 4 and 300 K. A symmetry allowed on-site Mn [Formula presented] transition near 1.7 eV is observed to blueshift ([Formula presented]) in the antiferromagnetic state due to Mn Mn superexchange interactions. Similar anomalies are observed in the temperature dependence of the TO phonon frequencies which arise from spin-phonon interaction. We find that the known anomaly in the temperature dependence of the quasistatic dielectric constant [Formula presented] below [Formula presented] is overwhelmingly dominated by the phonon contributions.
