Reflectivity measurements in the far-infrared region irrefutably show the consequence of the Peierls instability in the blue bronze K 0.3 MoO 3 system. At 5 K, a very strong polarization-dependent phonon spectrum is observed: At photon energies below 8 meV, a giant, nearly undamped structure dominates the whole spectrum polarized along the b axis. The structure, reaching reflectivity values of 97%, is assigned to the oscillation of the pinned Fröhlich charge-density-wave (CDW)(A−) mode. Optical constants are calculated by means of the Kramers-Kronig relation. The results are compared to the predictions of mean-field theory (m CDW*, λ, T c MF) and to the experimental results on K 2 Pt (CN) 4 Br 0.3· 3 H 2 O (KCP). No softening of the (A−) mode or of the CDW energy-loss spectrum was observed. A midgap absorption can be related to the presence of solitons (dislocations in CDW lattice) and will be discussed with the latest results on the non-Ohmic conductivity.
