Abstract
A theory assuming specular scattering of electrons and incorporating nonlocal transverse and longitudinal dielectric functions predicts that a thin metallic film may exhibit anomalous optical properties due to the wave-vector-dependent structure in the longitudinal dielectric function.Keywords
