Single-surface reflectance

An additional surface arrangement of importance is a single-zone surface enclosing gas. With the gas assumed gray, the simplest derivation of GSi is to note that the emission from surface Ai per unit of its blackbody emissive power is Ai i, of which the fractions g and (1 - G)ei are absorbed Dy the gas and the surface, respectively, and the surface-reflected residue always repeats this distribution. Therefore,... 

Figure 3.1 Schematic diagram of an AAS spectrometer. A is the light source (hollow cathode lamp), B is the beam chopper (see Fig. 3.2), C is the burner, D the monochromator, E the photomultiplier detector, and F the computer for data analysis. In the single beam instrument, the beam from the lamp is modulated by the beam chopper (to reduce noise) and passes directly through the flame (solid light path). In a double beam instrument the beam chopper is angled and the rear surface reflective, so that part of the beam is passed along the reference beam path (dashed line), and is then recombined with the sample beam by a half-silvered mirror.

When using single-crystal electrodes, it is assumed that the structure of their surfaces reflects the structure of the bulk crystal. However, it appears that, frequently, the surface structure is different from that of the bulk due to their different atomic surroundings. In the bulk crystal, each metal atom is surrounded by identical atoms fixed within the well-defined structure. In contrast, the surface atoms participate in the interactions with metal atoms forming the crystal, and are involved as well in the interactions with the components of the solution at the solid/liquid interface. These asymmetrical interactions of the surface atoms may lead to the breakage of the old and formation of the new bonds, followed by the displacement of the surface atoms to the positions of the lower surface energy. The process of formation... 

The Limiting Case M = 1 and N = 1 The directed exchange areas for this special case correspond to a single well-mixed gas zone completely surrounded by a single surface zone A2. ffere the reflectivity matrix is a 1 x 1 scalar quantity which follows directly from the... 

Polycrystalline surfaces result from a mixing of all possible crystal orientations. From an energetic point of view, the low index faces discussed above predominate. The work function of the polycrystalline surface reflects a weighted average of the work functions for each crystallographic orientation. In the case of face-centered cubic systems, it falls between that of the (110) and (100) single crystal surfaces. Since polycrystalline metals are involved in most practical applications, the effect of surface structure on the work function is not discussed further here. More information on this topic is available in reviews by Trasatti [G3, 5]. 

By attaching a prism to the end of the fibers, the probe can also be used for ATR spectroscopy. As shown in the inset of Fig. 10, a silicon flat prism with a thickness of 1.5 mm and a bottom width of 3 mm was attached at the end of the fibers by a metal holder. The apex angle of the prism is 90°, so that it brings a single reflection at the end surface of the prism. Although around 65% of the incident energy is lost due to surface reflection at the surfaces of the prism and limited coupling efficiency. 

Geometric Optics Results for Cold Plates. For parallel plates of thickness L with surface reflectivity p and transmittance x = exp(-aL), multiple internal reflections occur at both plate-air interfaces within the parallel plate, causing portions of the radiation to have quite long paths within the plates and thus increased absorption and reflection from the primary surface. For a single plate that is cold enough that emission of radiation can be ignored and with L X, the fractions of incident energy on one face that are absorbed A, reflected R, and transmitted T, are... 

The diffraction of light waves in such a film can be treated in the same way used by Rayleigh, that is, applying (macroscopic) Maxwell equations with the appropriate boundary conditions at both surfaces. Afterward it was found that the same answers are obtained when the interference of the reflected, refracted, and diffracted waves are treated in an elementary fashion by adding the diffraction of the single surfaces with appropriate phase factors. 

It must be emphasized that the short attenuation length and low normal-incidence reflectivity of materials in the EUV range present very difficult problems regarding fabricating single-surface mirrors or lenses. The main solution to this problem is the use of multilayer reflectors. Absent these reflectors, EUV lithography as currently practiced would not be possible. 

The main optical elements used in EUV optics are based on multilayer (ML) film reflectors. As stated above, at 13.5 nm, a single-surface reflector made of any material has very low reflectivity. For instance, at normal incidence, the reflectivity of molybdenum is about 10 at 13.5 nm (see Fig. 14.3), which corresponds to an electric field amplitude reflectivity of about 3%. By constructing a smooth substrate, comprising a multilayer stack of alternating thin (a few nanometers) layers of molybdenum and silicon, with negligible photon absorption, it is possible to...
