We report on a study of the residual absorption of high temperature superconductors (ff15) at THz frequencies. Using transmission Fabry-Perot interferometry, we determined both, real and imaginary part ofthe conductivity. We especially studied YBCO thin films. We found, that the dynamical conductivity varied strongly from sample to sample. As a main result we find, that the absorptivity increases at frequencies above 1 THz much weaker than quadratically, ie. the o2 behaviour of the absorptivity at microwave frequencies is not continued in the THz frequency range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
