Vn. Samovarov et al., ELECTRON-STRUCTURE RELAXATION OF YBACUO F ILMS IN NORMAL AND SUPERCONDUCTING STATES, Fizika nizkih temperatur, 22(11), 1996, pp. 1245-1247
The time-dependence of absorption coefficient in metallic YBa2Cu3O6+x
films is studied by the optical spectroscopy method. This process is i
nduced by the electron-structure relaxation in the films after fast co
oling to low temperatures. It is shown that in the superconducting pha
se long-time relaxation is frozen while a short-time component of the
relaxation, connected with the near-Fermi states of electrons, remains
unchanged.
