Kramers-Kronig analysis of reflection data
Abstract
A method is given for using the Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations to evaluate optical and dielectric parameters of materials from normal incidence reflectance data when data over only a limited spectral range is available. No assumptions are needed concerning the behaviour of the reflectance data outside the experimental range, and no extrapolations of data are required. As an example, the extreme ultra-violet reflectance data of potassium iodide is analysed by this method.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
