ISBN: 9814405949

Author: Adachi, Sadao

Condition: New

This book presents data on the optical constants of metal elements (Na, Au, Mg, Hg, Sc, Al, Ti, -Sn, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, La, Th, etc.) semimetal elements (graphite, Sb, etc.), metallic compounds (TiN, VC, TiSi2, CoSi2, etc.) and high-temperature superconducting materials (YBa2Cu3O7-d, MgB2, etc.). A complete set of the optical constants are presented in tabular and graphical forms over the entire photon-energy range. They are: the complex dielectric constant e(E)=e1(E)+ie2(E), the complex refractive index n*(E)=n(E)+ik(E), the absorption coefficient a(E) and the normal-incidence reflectivity R(E). The book will aid many who are interested to know the optical constants of the metals, semimetals, metallic compounds and high-temperature superconducting materials in the course of their work.
