Abstract

We have measured the surface impedance of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 single crystals and have evaluated the conductivity 1 at millimeter-wave frequencies. We observe a peak below Tc which we suggest is due to case-II coherence factors, like the Hebel-Slichter peak observed in the NMR relaxation rate of classical superconductors. A comparison with theory leads to a large gap, suggesting strong coupling.
