contents We study deformed neutron halo nuclei in the mass region $40 < A < 90$ and their soft electric dipole ($E1$) excitations based on the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc). Three candidates, $^{43}$Si, $^{69}$Ti, and $^{75}$Cr, are selected for detailed analysis. Unique features are identified in the decoupled densities of possible $s$- and $p$-wave deformed halo nuclei in this mass region, which are influenced by large high-$l$ configurations. It is shown that the dipole response is a highly sensitive observable to detect the halo component of the single-particle wave function in deformed halo nucleus, and it helps identify the configuration and the magnitude of deformation for halo nuclei in the $40 < A < 90$ mass region. Experimental confirmation of the dipole strength in the low-energy region is highly desirable to explore possible deformed halo candidates in the medium-heavy mass region.
