摘要
The Josephson plasma resonance has been observed in a microwave frequency at 35 GHz in magnetic fields up to 6 T in the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta. Making use of the different dispersion relations between two Josephson plasma modes predicted by the recent theories, the longitudinal mode, which is the Nambu-Goldstone mode in a superconductor, is separated out from the transverse one experimentally. This experimental result directly proves the existence of the Nambu-Goldstone mode in a superconductor with a finite energy gap (h) over bar omega(p) = (h) over bar c/lambda(c) root epsilon. Such a finite energy gap implies the mass of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons in a superconductor, supporting the mass formation mechanism proposed by Anderson.
