Photon Interactions at a Rough Metal Surface
Abstract
We have analyzed the processes of diffuse scattering of photons and surface-plasmon creation by photons at a rough metal surface. We have approximated the metal by an electron gas of uniform density which is bounded by a nearly plane surface at which the density falls abruptly to zero. Quantum perturbation theory is used to evaluate the probability of occurrence of the various processes at the assumed "weakly" rough surface.

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.
