Far infrared techniques in the range 10 to 200 cm/sup -1/ (1 to 25 meV) will be used to examine the high temperature superconductors V/sub 3/Si, Nb/sub 3/Ge, and Nb, and the high-temperature granular superconductor NbN. Fourier and laser spectrometers and the new technique of laser thermal spectroscopy will yield information about the electron-phonon spectral function, the temperature dependence of superconducting properties, and other fundamental aspects of high temperature homogeneous and inhomogeneous superconductors. A detailed theoretical analysis will complement the experimental work. The information gained may help in the basic understanding of high temperature superconductivity and in the development of improved superconducting materials for applications.
