N. Bontemps et al., RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FREQUENCY AND TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE CARRIER SCATTERING RATE IN THE NORMAL-STATE OF YBA2CU3O7 THIN-FILMS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 1429-1430
We have measured the transmission spectra in the infrared range (1000-
6000 cm(-1)) of several thin films YBaCuO/MgO as a function of tempera
ture: we show that the temperature dependence of the transmission betw
een 90 K and 300 K is consistent with a linear variation of the carrie
r scattering rate with temperature. Our results appear in quantitative
agreement with the marginal Fenni liquid (MFL) theory.
