Abstract

Infrared reflectivity results of YBa2Cu3O7x and SmBa2Cu3O7−x, in the tetragonal semiconducting phase, are reported. At least 10 of the 11 group theoretically allowed modes are observed, and the 11th may be observed in the Sm-material. Due to the fact that the modes are clearly resolved from each other, and, in some cases, have large shifts when Y is replaced by Sm, severial these modes can be assigned to definate vibrations. This and other aspects of the data are discussed.
