Investigations of Surfaces and Interfaces Using Optical Excitation of Surface Plasmons.

Abstract

This report presents the application of optical excitation of surface plasmons by ATR to investigations of metallic adsorption on metal surfaces prepared and studied under ultra-high vacuum. The experimental set-up and the methods are described. The accuracy of the determination of the surface layer effective dielectric constant is discussed and compared to the accuracy obtained by a differential reflection technique. Preliminary results for very thin deposits of Au on Ag and Ag on Au are given. (Author)
