Optical Properties
Translucency
• Reflection
– Scattering at interfaces of materials with different
index of refraction n
– The larger ∆n, the larger the scattering
• Scattering may occur
at:
• grain boundaries in
poly-crystalline
materials
• fine pores in
ceramics
• The boundaries of
a phase mixture
– Translucency
• Light scattered at interfaces within a transparant
material

• Corundum

• Ruby, sapphire, topaz,
amethyst
http://home.achilles.net/~jtalbot/glossary/photopumping.gif
http://www.valleydesign.com/images/sapp.jpg
– Colorless in pure form
– Impurities result in
different colors
• A similar technique is used to colour glasses or
pottery glaze by adding impurities into the molten
state:
The Cr levels give strong
absorptions at 400 nm (green) and
600 nm (blue) leaving only red to
be transmitted
– Cu2+: blue-green, Cr3+: green
– Co2+: blue-violet, Mn2+: yellow
Small particles show size dependent absorption
Absorption
• Transition between well-defined electronic levels
• Electron excitation across the band gap
• Electron excitation to defect levels in the band gap

• Metals Eg = 0 eV
• All light (with λ above X-ray wavelengths) absorbed by
continuous number of unoccupied states above Ef.
• Light is reemitted with exact energy of absorption as
electrons fall back into lowest state. Metals appear
reflective as the light we see is re-emitted.

Due to ‘bound’ charges
11
Silver
Aluminium
In the dielectric function of
silver you find an anomaly at
ωp which is due to interband
transitions
This metal has only
little bound charges at
2 eV, resulting in a
slightly reduced
reflectivity
Accordingly, a dip in the
reflectance is found at ~4 eV
The reflectanc remains low
for E > ~9eV
Thus the spectrum is
composed of a free electron
part εf and a bound electron
part εb
Plasma frequency
Plasma frequency Sn1-xSbxO2 (x=3%)
depends on electron density, N
So the carrier density is a
new parameter to play with!
for most metals, ωp is in the far UV
→ high reflectivity in visible
= 'shiny'
ωp in IR: transparent
low N metal:
e.g. doped metal oxide
Sn1-xSbxO2 (x=3%)
EELS
Reflection in the IR (due to the low electron density):
good IR-mirror.
It is a good conductor too

Substrate
• Smallest grains near interface
• Smallest grains have lowest activation energy for transition
• Surface energy confines the phases in two layers

Project goal
Solar contrast: reflective/absorbing state
Find a layer which is adapting its optical properties according to solar
input and heat output
Solar absorbance
Reflecting state ~ 40%
VAREM
Solar collector
Solar absorbance
Black state
~ 80%
H2O
VAREM: Variable absorbing and reflecting mirror which switches
between two states:
1)Absorb the solar spectrum, without emitting or absorbing heat
2)Reflect the solar spectrum
Multiple absorptions
In many structures both electronic
and vibronic absorption is seen
