Abstract
We report the observation of narrow resonances in the absorption of mm wavelength radiation (30 to 50 GHz) in the vortex state of . When the applied field is swept at fixed frequency , the absorption displays two distinct Lorentzian peaks at the resonance fields and . The resonance frequency decreases with increasing field, consistent with anticyclotronic behavior. At fixed , and also vary strongly with temperature . and increase to a sharp maximum when crosses the vortex solid-to-liquid transition line inferred from resistivity results. The coupling of cyclotron resonance with collective modes giving rise to an anticyclotronic mode is discussed.
