“…Some progress has been made towards understanding the variation of the emitted light intensity with angle and frequency. A theory by Laks andMills (1979,1980) which developed earlier ideas of Davis (1977) and Rendell et a1 (1978) has frequently been used in the interpretation of experimental results (Kirtley et a1 1981, Dawson et a1 1984, Moulessehoul and Septier 1984, Ushioda etaZ1985,1986, Kurdi and Hall 1986, Donohue and Wang 1986, Kroo et a1 1986, Soole and Hughes 1988. The distribution of light intensity with angle seems to be reproducible from one sample to another and is in agreement with theoretical predictions (Laks and Mills 1979,1980, Takeuchi et a1 1988.…”

The light output from Al-I-Au tunnel junctions is observed to depend on the morphology of the Au film electrode. Films deposited quickly (2 nm s-1) give out less light, especially towards the blue end of the spectrum, than those deposited slowly (0.03 nm s-1). An explanations is offered in terms of elastic scattering of surface plasmon polaritons in the Au film. The scattering increases the chance of plasmon decay by internal electromagnetic absorption at the expanse of photon emission. A model, of more general applicability, has been developed which can explain the results. SEM has been used to determine the grain size in the Au films and STM to measure the surface roughness.
