6. The controversy in interpreting the infrared data of YBCO has arisen from two divergent approaches: In the so-called one-component approach, the feature is interpreted as having an essential connection with the superconducting gap, while in the two-component approach, the feature is identified as the edge of the mid-infrared band and is not associated with the superconductivity because it does not disappear in the normal state in some samples. Details are found in D. B. Tanner and T. Timusk, Physical Properties of High Temperature Superconductors III (World Scientific, Singapore, 1992).
