We report a phase separation study on high-quality single crystals of La2CuO4+x for two concentrations x= 0.03 and x= 0.04. The excess oxygen was loaded into the crystals at high oxygen pressure p= 3 kbar and temperature T= 650-700ยฐC. The X-ray diffraction study of these crystals shows the presence

โฆ Synopsis
Far-infrared mfl~ivity spectra R(~) in polarization E.I_ C and DC-conductivity ape have been studied in a semieonducting phase of La2CuO4+x single crystals with various oxygen contents. The spectrum of infrared-active optical phonons has been obtained for stoiehiometric La2CuO4. It has been shown that the phonon spectrum should be analyzed in a framework of the orthorhombie crystal structure at T< 300 IC Extra lines have been found in the phonon spectrum upon doping the crystals with oxygen. The results of studying the temperature dependence of R(~) and a~c allow one to interpret these features as vibrational modes, which are active in the l~arnao scattering spectrum and displayed in the IR spectrum due to their interaction with selflocalized holes.
