Abstract

We report anomalous behavior of phonons in superconducting Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 at Tc(∼112 K) detected by a far-infrared reflectivity study of a ceramic sample. Our results indicate strong and abrupt softening of an infrared-active phonon and a decrease of oscillator strength of this and of another phonon. We associate the effects with anomalous vibrations of the bridging oxygen in the BaO layers and the off-center oxygen in the TlO layers, respectively. Our results give experimental evidence for strong electron-phonon interaction.
