The Thickness Dependence of IR-Reflectance from Al Quantum Wells
Abstract
The first report on the optical properties of metallic quantum wells (MQWs) in the IR-region appeared in 1991 1. The quantum sized effects (QSEs) in MQWs are usually studied in 0.1 4 nm thickness range due to small wavelength for electrons on Fermi surface for almost all metals. In this report the room tempemture measurements on the IR (9.201 micrometers) linear p-polarized reflectivity (Rp) of Al-QWs deposited on SiO2 and Si substrates are presented for thickness range from 0.5 nm to 112 nm 2. Two type of (Rp) oscillations in depend from Al-layer thickness in two thickness range (0.5 3.4 nm and 6 11 nm) are observed.
