When studying the effects of roughness on surface plasmons produced by the method of attenuated total reflection (ATR), one can deposit an aggregated or wavy underlayer on the prism surface before overcoating it with the same metal used for the underlayers. In the present work, aggregated silver films have been overcoated with a second silver layer, making a total film thickness of 52.5 nm. The ATR spectra of these systems were shown to be greatly influenced by the final state of the underlayer as well as the roughness at the silver–air interface. Results suggested that even after overcoating, the underlayers remained partially aggregated. The roughness at the silver–air interface was found to be less important than the thickness of the original, noncoated, aggregated underlayer.

A New Technique

In total reflection spectroscopy the effective sampled depth increases as the angle of incidence approaches the critical one. At each angle of incidence, successive layers within the sample are weighed differently in the overall spectrum, and the manner of this weighing changes with angle. It is thus possible in principle to deconvolute a set of spectra taken at different angles into spectra corresponding to successive depth invervals. As this angular effect is particularly marked near the critical angle, where attenuated total reflection spectra are severely distorted, the spectra usually require inversion into optical constant spectra. This has been done by a new technique that measures spectra twice at each angle with different prism materials to give the necessary data sets. Examples of such subsurface spectra are shown.

Perpendicular Polarization

Attenuated Total Reflection infrared spectra were obtained for rough and spheroidal powders made from an amorphous polymer. The spectra were recorded with a polarizer to obtain both parallel and perpendicular components of the spectra separately. The results were compared to both theoretical predictions and experimental results for the same material examined as a film. It was found that the relative absorption intensities of the two polarization spectra recorded of the film agreed well with the theory for films. However, the powdered samples showed unexpected increases in absorption intensities for the perpendicular spectra. The intensities of the absorptions for perpendicular polarization were about 45% greater than for films as measured by the ratio of relative effective thicknesses. Implications for interpretation of the spectra of powdered materials are discussed.
