Abstract
The reflectivity from Ag surfaces, formed by overcoating Ag‐aggregated films deposited on heated substrates, shows interesting double absorptions. They appear in two distinct regions, near and beyond 1 μm and at ∼0.35 μm. The former is discussed in terms of a dipole model of the rough surfaces within the Maxwell‐Garnett aprroximation and the latter is proposed to be surface plasmon excitation.Keywords
