Abstract
In this thesis study, the temperature dependent reflectivity measurements have been performed on Zn-substituted YBa\(_2\)Cu\(_3\)O\(_y\) single crystals. In this chapter, information about the samples, sample preparation for measurements has been given. Moreover, the experimental setup, equipments used in measurements has also been introduced. Finally, the basics of the data analysis (fittings, error calculations, etc.) has been discussed.
