Anisotropic drude response and the effect of anisotropic C substitution in.
The in-plane and the out-of-plane optical spectra of small single crystals of Mg(B1-xCx)2 were directly determined by a microscope spectroscopy technique. Contrary to previous reports, the estimated plasma frequencies for both directions are quite consistent with the band calculation. A multi-Drude picture corresponding to a multiband system is necessary to explain the whole spectral profile. The spectral changes with the carbon substitution indicate a decrease of carrier concentration as well as an increase of scattering rate, particularly, in the sigma bands.
