Abstract
Far-infrared sphere resonance in T*-phase SmLa0.8Sr0.2CuO4δ powder samples is measured down to 7cm1. Below Tc, two peaks are observed at 11 and 30cm1 for δ=0.05. Based on a comparison with the S/I/S/I/S/I/S/I/S ( superconductor/insulator1/superconductor/insulator2/superconductor )-type Josephson junction array model discussed by van der Marel and Tsvetkov [(Czech. J. Phys. 46, 3165 (1996)], these peaks are attributed to the Josephson plasma resonances of the intrinsic Josephson junctions at the fluorite-type Sm2O2 block layer and the rocksalt-type (La,Sr)2O2δ block layer, respectively. The relation between the multiple Josephson plasma and the crystal structure of high- Tc cuprates is also discussed.
