Abstract

We report on a study of the infrared properties of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ, Bi1.66Pb0.34Sr2CaCu2O8+δ, and Tl2Ba2CuO6+δ crystals at doping levels from underdoped to strongly overdoped. We calculate the frequency-dependent scattering rate 1/τ(ω,T) and study its doping dependence. While we observe a normal-state gaplike depression in 1/τ(ω,T) in the underdoped regime, it is not observed in the overdoped regime. While the high-frequency 1/τ(ω,T) is temperature independent in the underdoped regime, it scales with temperature in the overdoped regime.
