Experimental Study of Electronic States at Metal-Dielectric Interfaces.

Abstract

Novel high resolutions electromagnetic wave techniques have been used in the optical, infrared and far infrared spectral regions to explore the electronic states at metal dielectric interfaces. Because infrared surface plasmons on metal surfaces propagate for many wavelengths, a measurement of the transmission of these surface excitations has proven to be a sensitive probe of the surface itself. Both broadband and single frequency generation techniques have been developed. Reconstructed surfaces as well as surfaces covered with a chemisorbed atomic monolayer or a thin dielectric or molecular film have been investigated with these new methods. Keywords: Electromagnetic; Electronic; Broadband.
