Abstract:We propose a framework for modeling the temperature-dependent infrared optical and radiative properties of metals exhibiting nonideal free-carrier dynamics. In order to do so, we derive a parsimonious model that possesses both multivariate (in temperature and wavelength) and single variate (in wavelength) components. The model is realized as the complex-valued relative permittivity, and is applicable to optically smooth media. A procedure is outlined for regressing both components of the model under an appropr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
