Lv. Nomerovannaya et al., OPTICAL STUDY OF THE DOPING EFFECT OF OXYGEN IN YBA2CU3OY AND BI2SR2CACU2O8-CRYSTALS(DELTA SINGLE), Thin solid films, 234(1-2), 1993, pp. 531-535
The results of ellipsometric measurements of the optical properties of
single crystals of YB2Cu3Oy and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta at 0.1-5.0 eV are
reported as a function of the concentration of free carriers. We show
ed that the main feature of the optical conductivity near 1.7 and 4.1
eV in YBa2Cu3Oy and 3.7 eV in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta and its spectral sha
pes are modified similarly in both systems on doping by oxygen. We fou
nd that for all superconducting crystals a band at 0.1-0.7 eV is obser
ved. The values of plasma frequencies omega(p) and optical effective m
asses were evaluated.
