Evolution of the electronic state by Y doping was explored by optical conductivity covering a wide energy and compositional region deduced from systematic reflectivity measurements ofsingle crystals. Although electrons doped onto theband by Y dopants immediately realize a metallic state, the charge dynamics do not obey a simple Drude response and the spectral intensity is condensed in the mid-infrared region. Contrary to the pressure-induced case, a metallic phase appears in a certain compositional region before reaching the valence transition. The Fermi level is shifted upwards by electron doping. Therefore, theband must overlap with the weakly dispersiveband more deeply than in the pressure-induced case to reach the valence transition, which can explain the stability of the divalent phase up to higher temperatures in the doped system than in the pressure-induced case. The present optical study provides us with a strategy that sulfur deficiency might increase operating temperature of negative thermal expansion in this system.
