Abstract

We explore the symmetry-breaking in cuprate high temperature superconductors (HTS) as a function of energy (117-2330 meV), doping, and temperature (30-300 K). We measure the Faraday rotation angle \theta_{\mathrm{F}} of transmitted radiation through thin YBaCuO7-x (YBCO) films as the sample is rotated. We observe twofold rotational symmetry in \theta_\mathrm{{F}}, which is associated with linear dichroism (LD) that can be generally associated with symmetry breaking. The LD signal shows a peak in the few hundred meV range and is strongest in under-doped films.
