Abstract

We have studied the Far Infrared transmission spectra of an MgO plate covered with an YBaCuO film of thickness t=200 Å, at different temperatures. By cooling from room temperature to temperatures Θ < 140 K, the Far Infrared interference fringes are displaced by half a period. Explanation in terms of different adaptations of the YBaCuO sheet resistance to the MgO substrate impedance during cooling.
