  5. Basics of optical properties We want to determine the complex dielectric function: SI ! (RTM not in SI) through the complex index of refraction: RTM: dispersion absorption or the absorption coefficient: Measured: a, n”, calculated: e If n’ is slowly varying with w, a ~ e” BEWARE! SZFKI-MFA Carbon Nanotube Learning Seminar

  6. Frequency dependence of optical functions e’, e” Drude-Lorentz dielectric function: • e from independent oscillators additive, but n not! (because of square root) • where absorption is strong, n’ also varies strongly! (because of dispersion relations) • where absorption is strong, reflectance is also high! n’, n” R SZFKI-MFA Carbon Nanotube Learning Seminar

  7. Reflectance spectroscopy Fresnel’s equations for normal incidence: R large, if n’>>1 or n”>>n’ Extraction of optical constants from reflectance: use of dispersion relations Kramers-Kronig (KK) transformation: e’, e”, ... n’, n” Because of the integral, broad spectral range or reasonable extensions are needed! SZFKI-MFA Carbon Nanotube Learning Seminar

  8. Absorption spectroscopy (from transmittance) if R<<1, Beer’s law (Lambert-Beer) specific (molar) absorption coefficient not a definition! (measured a sometimes called “extinction coefficient”) Transmission can also be subject to KK analysis, if the spectral range is broad enough: SZFKI-MFA Carbon Nanotube Learning Seminar

  9. Optical functions of a transparent nanotube • ~ -log T and e” ~ a is a good approximation • above 3000 cm-1 only! • -log T is a reasonable approximation for the optical conductivity s’=we” rather than e” SZFKI-MFA Carbon Nanotube Learning Seminar

  10. Optical functions for extended bands k-dependence: Ec(k) – conduction band, Ev(k) – valence band, Mcv(k) – dipole matrix element Dk=0, but k is not restricted If we neglect the k-dependence of the matrix elements, we obtain an expression containing the joint density of states nj(E): Parallel bands contribute most to the absorption SZFKI-MFA Carbon Nanotube Learning Seminar
