Optical and transport properties of the high-temperature cuprate superconductor La₂₋ˣSrˣCuO₄

This thesis describes measurements of the optical and d.c. electrical conductivity of a family of high-temperature superconductors. For this purpose, an optical spectroscopy laboratory was constructed, incorporating a commercial infrared spectrometer and a homemade continuous-flow optical cryostat....
