Plasma resonance in the reflection spectrum of thin aluminium films

B. Feuerbacher, R. P. Godwin, M. Skibowski


The reflectance of thin Al fims has been measured near the plasma wavelength (840 Å) at a pressure of 2 × 10-9 Torr using synchrotron radiation as light source. For parallel-polarized light a plasma resonance maximum was found together with a Brewster minimum. © 1968.
