This book presents data on the optical constants of metal elements (Na, Au, Mg, Hg, Sc, Al, Ti, β-Sn, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, La, Th, etc.) semimetal elements (graphite, Sb, etc.), metallic compounds (TiN, VC, TiSi 2, CoSi 2, etc.) and high-temperature superconducting materials (YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ, MgB 2, etc.). A complete set of the optical constants are presented in tabular and graphical forms over the entire photon-energy range. They are: the complex dielectric constant ε( E )=ε 1 ( E )+iε 2 ( E ), the complex refractive index n *( E )= n ( E )+i k ( E ), the absorption coefficient α( E ) and the normal-incidence reflectivity R ( E ). The book will aid many who are interested to know the optical constants of the metals, semimetals, metallic compounds and high-temperature superconducting materials in the course of their work.
