Ab. Sushkov et al., ELLIPSOMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF THE SUPERCONDUCTING TRANSITION IN A YBA2CU3O7-GAMMA AB-ORIENTED FILM AT A WAVELENGTH OF 119 MU-M, JETP letters, 58(9), 1993, pp. 696-700
The first measurements of the temperature dependence of the complex di
electric function epsilon(ab)(omega0,T) for an ab-oriented (with the c
axis perpendicular to the film) YBa2Cu3O7-delta film on a single-crys
tal SrTiO3 substrate are presented. The measurements were obtained usi
ng far-infrared ellipsometry. The temperature behavior of epsilon(ab)(
omega0,T) qualitatively conforms to that predicted by the model of the
strong electron-phonon coupling. No peaks below T(c) were observed at
the frequency which was used.
