Abstract
We report far-infrared optical properties of for photon energies down to and temperatures . In the coherent heavy quasiparticle state, a linear dependence of the low-energy scattering rate on both temperature and photon energy was found. We relate this distinct dynamical behavior different from that of Fermi-liquid materials to the non-Fermi-liquid nature of which is due to its close vicinity to an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point.
