Abstract

We measured the surface impedance of YBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystals at 10 GHz in two kinds of magnetic-field configurations (Hω∥c,Hω ⊥c). We investigated the temperature dependence of the c-axis microwave conductivity σ1c in the superconducting state for a fully oxygenated sample (Tc=93 K) and two oxygen-reduced samples (Tc=65 K, 63 K). In the fully oxygenated sample, σ1c(T) shows a broad peak similar to that of σ1ab(T), while in the oxygen-reduced samples σ1c(T) shows quite different dependence on temperature from σ1ab(T). Namely, σ1c(T) in the superconducting state strongly depends on the oxygen content in YBa2Cu3O7−δ. The result suggests that the dynamics of the quasiparticles in the oxygen-reduced YBa2Cu3O7−δ keeps a strong two-dimensional nature in the superconducting state.
