Abstract
Measurements of the optical constants of metals at submillimeter wavelengths are sparse. We have used a nonresonant cavity to measure, at room temperature, the angle averaged absorptance spectra P(omega) of aluminum, molybdenum, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, and iron in the 30-300-cm(-1) wavenumber region. The real part of the normalized surface impedance spectrum, z(omega) = r(omega) + ix(omega), was determined from P(omega). Measurements were also made on iron from 400 to 4000 cm(-1) using standard reflectance techniques. The r(omega) spectrum was combined with previous measurements by others at higher frequencies and Kramers-Kronig analyses of the resultant combined r(omega) spectra provided epsilon(omega) = epsilon(1)(omega) + iepsilon(2)(omega) and N(omega) = n(omega) + ik(omega).

Algorithm for the determination of intrinsic optical constants of metal films: application to aluminum

TL;DR: Optical and electron-energy-loss data for evaporated-aluminum films have been critically analyzed and used in an iterative, self-consistent algorithm that represents a combination of the Kramers-Kronig analysis and the semiquantum-model application.

The evolution of amorphous hydrocarbons in the ISM: dust modelling from a new vantage point

TL;DR: In this paper, a power-law distribution of small a-C grains and log-normal distributions of large a-SilFe and aC(:H) grains are used to explore dust evolution in the interstellar medium, and it is shown that mantle accretion in molecular clouds and UV photo-processing in photodominated regions are likely the major drivers of dust evolution.

Optical properties of the metals Al, Co, Cu, Au, Fe, Pb, Ni, Pd, Pt, Ag, Ti, and W in the infrared and far infrared

TL;DR: The data for the noble metals and Al, Pb, and W can be reasonably fit using the Drude model and it is shown that -epsilon1(omegas) = epsilon2(omega) approximately omega(2)(p)/(2omega( 2)(tau) at the damping frequency omega = omega(tau), where the plasma frequency is omega(p).

Optical properties of fourteen metals in the infrared and far infrared: Al, Co, Cu, Au, Fe, Pb, Mo, Ni, Pd, Pt, Ag, Ti, V, and W.

TL;DR: Refinements in the fitting technique have resulted in only slight changes in the Drude model parameters for Al, Au, Ag, and W, and the optical resistivity has been calculated from the Druded model parameters ωτ and ωp and compared to handbook values for the dc resistivity.

Absolute measurement of the far-infrared surface resistance of Pb

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface resistance of Pb has been measured using a new technique of parallel-plate waveguides, made from two rolled-metal foils and a dielectric spacing material or by evaporating the metal directly on both surfaces of the dielectrics and thus preventing the air from oxidizing the measured metal surface.
