Abstract

Coherent time-domain spectroscopy was used to measure the complex transmission tensor of several YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films in magnetic fields up to 6 T at temperatures from 10 to 200 K. The complex conductivity tensor was determined from transmission measurements in the frequency range 150-800 GHz without the need for Kramers-Kronig analysis. Both the real and imaginary parts of σxy were found to peak near 40 K, exceeding their normal state values by more than a factor of 10. This behavior is ascribed to the Hall effect of quasiparticles in the superconducting state.
