Experimental study of electronic states at metal-dielectric interfaces
Abstract
Because infrared surface plasmons on metal surfaces propagate for many wavelengths, a measurement of the transport of these excitations can be used to monitor the surface itself, using the metal edge with a broadband continuous source. Measurements of the transmission of IR surface plasmons across metal surfaces covered with a chemisorbed atomic monolayer or with thin dielectric or molecular films have been carried out and, compared with those obtained by reflection spectroscopy.
