Optical Properties of Metals
Optical Properties of Metals

... Since the reflectance and transmittance are related, measuring only R and T is not sufficient to determine the optical properties of material, i.e. to determine both η and κ. It is necessary to measure also the absorbance within the material for a certain thickness. This would yield the value for th ...

... The time-shift technique is used here in a somewhat modified form. This technique was first introduced by Semidetnov (1985) [3] and is further developed in Damaschke et al (2002) and Albrecht et al (2003). It is realized by creating an illuminated volume considerably smaller than the size of the par ...

... Therefore, the task of constructing the semiclassics of a scattering system is completed, if we can find a connection between the spectral density d(E) and the scattering matrix S .

... In this way, for any finite value of the radius R of the box, we have mapped our scattering system into a bound system with a spectral density d(E; R) over discrete eigenenergies En (R). It is therefore important that our scattering potential was chosen to be short-ranged to start with. (Which expla ...

Cross section (physics)



The cross section is an effective area that quantifies the intrinsic likelihood of a scattering event when an incident beam strikes a target object, made of discrete particles. The cross section of a particle is the same as the cross section of a hard object, if the probabilities of hitting them with a ray are the same. It is typically denoted σ and measured in units of area.In scattering experiments, one is often interested in knowing how likely a given event occurs. However, the rate depends strongly on experimental variables such as the density of the target material, the intensity of the beam, or the area of overlap between the beam and the target material. To control for these mundane differences, one can factor out these variables, resulting in an area-like quantity known as the cross section.
