We report an infrared reflectivity study of epitaxial YBa2Cu307-6 thin films. Results for samples with different values of To, obtained by Fe doping or ion bombardment, give evidence for a gap 2A(0) ~ 7 kBTc. For ion bombarded films we find a soft mode that may correspond to a giant-amplitude oxygen

✦ Synopsis
We report on the far-infrared reflectivity and absorptivity of high quality YBa2Cu307_b thin films. The absorptivity can be characterized by three contributions: free carriers absorption that disappears below T e , an absorption process that sets in near 400 cm-I (21::1/kBT e ;::j 6) and is almost independent of temperature and, a rest absorption at small frequencies that is present at very low temperatures.

We report on low temperature far infrared reflection measurements on thin film YBa2CuaOr at magnetic fields up to 15.5 Tesla. Our measurements show for the superconductive state a clear edge in the reflectance near 400 cm -1, which develops into a distinct kink if the temperature is lowered to 1.2 K
