Investigations on the consistency of optical constants in the XUV determined by different methods

Abstract

A Monte Carlo method for determining freeenergy differences and transition state theory rate constants

Optical constants of magnetron sputtered Pt thin films with improved accuracy in the N- and O-electronic shell absorption regions

“…demonstrates remarkable agreement between the results of this work and Ref 16,. for both real and imaginary parts of the Pt dielectric function, thus providing an additional validation of our measurements.…”

“…Finally, in Fig. 9, we present a comparison of the data from the present work with the data from Birken et al, 16 where the real and imaginary parts of the Pt dielectric function were determined experimentally via reflectance vs. incidence angle measurements using the same method as discussed in Sec. III B of this paper.…”

“…Wehenkel and Gauthé 15 also measured the absorption of Pt thin films via electron energy loss spectra. Birken et al 16 and Windt et al 17 determined experimentally both the absorptive and dispersive parts of the refractive index from reflectance data on Pt thin films prepared by evaporation. The Pt absorption values from Refs.…”

Determination of Optical Constants from Angular-Dependent, Photoelectric-Yield Measurements

“…Similar investigations have been performed on thin copper films on glass substrates in the range of 50-900 eV [10]. An example of a measurement on Cu at 644 eV photon energy is given in Fig.…”

Detection of ultrathin biological films using vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopic ellipsometry

“…There is a need to determine the optical properties of many biological moieties and biofunctionalized surfaces in spectral regions ranging from vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) through soft X-ray regions. Techniques such as electron energy loss spectroscopy [4] and [5], ellipsometry [6], the angle dependence of the photoelectric yield [7], and interferometry [8] are used for deriving the optical properties of materials in the VUV through X-ray regions. However the optical properties of protein monolayers, ultrathin organo-silane monolayers (<10 nm) on solid surfaces are not known.…”
