Investigation of the Optical Properties of Au by Means of Thin Semitransparent Films
Abstract
Both the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant of Au were accurately determined in the 0.5-6-eV range from measurements of the reflectance and transmittance of thin semitransparent films. The results obtained on well-crystallized films were in general agreement with previous data on bulk samples. They allowed a thorough analysis of the absorption spectrum of Au in terms of intra- and interband transitions. Deviations from the Drude theory were observed, and the values of the optical mass and relaxation time of the conduction electrons are discussed. The absorption edge was investigated very accurately. Further information on the absorption processes was also obtained by studying films with different crystallographic structures. In particular, the supplementary absorption often observed in Au below the absorption edge was shown to be due to impurities.

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.
