K. Kamaras et al., THE USE OF FAR-INFRARED ELLIPSOMETRY IN THE STUDY OF HIGH-TEMPERATURESUPERCONDUCTORS - POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITATIONS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 1085-1086
We examine the possibilities of applying spectroscopic ellipsometry fo
r the determination of the far-infrared dielectric function of high te
mperature superconductors. On the example of YBa2Cu3O7 at 20 K we show
that the potential of the method lies in the accurate determination o
f epsilon(1) rather than the details of the onset of epsilon(2).
