27. 1g electronic peak in trilayer and four-layer HTCS, however, seems to be predominantly of plasmon character. The dichotomy of pair-breaking versus plasma excitations encountered here was early noticed in the infrared spectra of LSCO by M. S. Sherwin, P. L. Richards, and A. Zettl, Phys. Rev. B 37, 1587 (1988).
