Abstract

We report the room-temperature infrared (ir) reflectance spectrum and the Kramers-Kronig imaginary dielectric function (ε’’) of the Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (2:2:1:2) superconductor (Tc=82 K) in the 250–1000 cm−1 region. ε’’ shows phononlike maxima at 276, 316, 347, 361, and 600 cm−1. Several spectral features are similar to those found in 1:2:3-type materials including superconducting MBa2Cu3O7−x and semiconducting MBa2Cu3O6 (M=Y or some rare-earth element), as expected from their closely related perovskitelike crystal structures. The correlation existing between a factor group analysis of the Γ point phonons in 2:2:1:2 and 1:2:3 compounds affords a tentative assignment of ir-active modes in the bismuth superconductor by comparison with reported data in 1:2:3 materials.
