Interlayer Conductivity in the Superconductor Tl-Ba-Cu-O: Energetics and Energy Scales

A. S. Katz, S. I. Woods, E. J. Singley +5

We report on infrared studies of the c-axis electrodynamics of Tl-Ba-Cu-O (Tl-2201) crystals. A sum rule analysis reveals spectral weight shifts that can be interpreted as a kineti…
