摘要: Abstract We present the first femtosecond pump-prove measurements of room temperature optical properties high-Tc superconductors. Three oriented superconducting thin-films were studied: YBa2Cu3O7−δ, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+z, and Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+y. The observed changes in e2 can be related to dynamics Cu d O p band charge transfer excitation occurring  planes. By depleting YBa2Cu3O7−δ sample oxygen, we simultaneously vary Fermi level Tc. sign Δe2 is found depend on position, while recovery time increase markedly with decreasing
