Surface optical reflectance spectroscopies: Application to semiconductor and metal surfaces

Abstract: The optical response of the surface of a crystal differs from the bulk response. The origin of such differences can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. In order to illustrate these aspects, several experimental results obtained by differential reflectance spectroscopy and by reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy, on both semiconductor and metal surfaces and interfaces are presented and discussed: the influence of roughness (with the possibility of surface-plasmon excitation in the case of metal surfaces), anisotropy effects on noble metals, gas chemisorption and metal growth on semiconductor surfaces.
