Abstract

We report the infrared reflection and absorption spectra of the high Tc superconductor Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 in the temperature range from 10 K to 300 K. For temperatures above 100 K, the reflection spectra show only small changes with temperature. Just below 100 K, the reflectance suddenly increases for energies below 210 cm−1 with very little change as the temperature is further decreased. Several peaks corresponding to normal modes of the material are observed in both reflection and absorption spectra.
