Abstract
We precisely reinvestigate the Charge-Density Wave (CDW) amplitude mode in molybdenum blue bronze (K 0.30MoO 3) by using Raman spectroscopy down to 4 K. The Raman profile of the amplitude mode is gradually changing from one harmonic oscillator form to an anomalous asymmetric one like a “fin” with decreasing temperature. This is probably due to a splitting of the amplitude mode and contrasted with the previous study [Solid State Commun. 45 (1983) 289], where the CDW amplitude mode was analyzed with one harmonic oscillator down to 10 K. This anomaly probably reflects a spatial variation of the CDW amplitude in the bulk of the crystal at low temperatures.
