Abstract

Infrared optical constants collected from the literature are tabulated. The data for the noble metals and Al, Pb, and W can be reasonably fit using the Drude model. It is shown that −∊1(ω)=∊2(ω)≃ωp2/(2ωτ2) at the damping frequency ω = ωτ. Also −∊1(ωτ) ≃ −(½) ∊1(0), where the plasma frequency is ωp.

For a single carrier type (electrons) the plasma frequency ωp is as given in Eq. (5) where the dielectric constant is ∊∞ (the contribution from the core electrons at high frequencies). Often m* = m and ∊∞ = 1 are assumed. For discussion see H. Ehrenreich, M. H. Cohen, Phys. Rev. 115, 786 (1959); the last paragraph on p. 790 is most relevant.
