Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have constructed the optically transmission and reflection spectra measurement system, which are used for the experimentally determination of optical permittivity of alloy metals. The obtained permittivity are analyzed with Drude-Lorenz model. From the parameters of analysed results and the X-ray crystallographic study reveal the relationship between crystal structures and permittivity. Also we succeeded to demonstrate the base metal alloy with Cu and AL for plasmonic applications.
