The dielectric function epsilon identical with epsilon(1) + iepsilon(2) has been determined for Al(2)O(3) films prepared by electron beam evaporation, in the 5-50-microm wavelength range. The data were extracted from spectrophotometric recordings of transmittance and reflectance by use of a novel technique. Supplementary measurements were made of the refractive index for visible and near-infrared wavelengths and of the dielectric constant at 1 MHz. Kramers-Kronig analysis was employed to check the consistency of our results for epsilon(1) and epsilon(2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
