Abstract

We have taken bolometric infrared spectra of the charge-density-wave conductor orthorhombic TaS₃, doped with niobium and titanium. For transverse polarization, the bolometric signal is roughly proportional to the absorptivity. Niobium doping (∼200 ppm) greatly increases the charge-density-wave depinning field and broadens the Peierls transition, while Ti doping (∼ 10 ppm) has negligible effect. Nevertheless, both types of samples have similar spectra: a large decrease of absorption above the Peierls gap (i.e. smearing of the absorption threshold) and no significant increase in absorption below the gap. The "midgap" absorption line at 500 cm^-1 is not affected by doping. Results are discussed in terms of the model of Tutto and Zawadowski.
