“…The FTIR spectra were used for determining the refractive index ( n ), extinction coefficient ( k ), and dielectric function based on the following equations. First, the pattern was converted from transmittance T (ω) to reflectance R (ω) − The reflectance pattern R (ω) is the input spectra used for determining n (ω) and k (ω) as follows , where the phase change φ(ω) is the reflection of the photon after traveling inside the sample The φ(ω) is made more simple for computation by applying the KK relation , where j is the series of the wavenumber; if j is an odd number, then the i values are 2, 4, 6, 8, ..., j – 1, j + 1 and if the wavenumber j is even, the i values are 1, 3, 5, 7, ..., j – 1, j + 1, ...; Δω = ω i +1 – ω i . The n (ω) and k (ω) values from the analysis of FTIR spectra are shown in Figure c.…”
