The optical properties of highly transparent single crystals of KBr, KCl, CaF2 and BaF2 have been measured using laser calorimetric techniques and wavelength modulation spectroscopy techniques in the spectral range for 2.5 to 12 microns in cooperation with the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Rich and varied absorption structures in the spectra were observed in all of the crystals enabling an identification of volume and surface absorption. Similar dominant bands are observed in many of the crystals indicating the presence of common impurities regardless of the crystal and origin of its growth. However, varied fine structure was observed in different crystals which are indicative of the individual characteristics of the chemistry of the crystal preparation. The measurements were performed in laboratory and dry nitrogen ambients and the physical absorption and desorption of surface contaminants was readily observed. Ellipsometric techniques were developed to evaluate and measure the strain and anisotropy in infrared optical films. Improved Reactive Atmosphere Processing, (RAP), techniques were developed and studied using a two zone RAP furnace for single crystal growth of BaF2 and CaF2 which resulted in improved infrared transmission in the 3 to 5 micron wavelength region for the first time.

Optical Properties of Solids covers the important concepts of intrinsic optical properties and photoelectric emission. The book starts by providing an introduction to the fundamental optical spectra of solids. The text then discusses Maxwell's equations and the dielectric function; absorption and dispersion; and the theory of free-electron metals. The quantum mechanical theory of direct and indirect transitions between bands; the applications of dispersion relations; and the derivation of an expression for the dielectric function in the self-consistent field approximation are also encompassed. The book further tackles current-current correlations; the fluctuation-dissipation theorem; and the effect of surface plasmons on optical properties and photoemission. People involved in the study of the optical properties of solids will find the book invaluable.

This book provides practical information on the use of infrared (IR) spectroscopy for the analysis of materials found in cultural objects. Designed for scientists and students in the fields of archaeology, art conservation, microscopy, forensics, chemistry, and optics, the book discusses techniques for examining the microscopic amounts of complex, aged components in objects such as paintings, sculptures, and archaeological fragments. Chapters include the history of infrared spectroscopy, the basic parameters of infrared absorption theory, IR instrumentation, analysis methods, sample collection and preparation, and spectra interpretation. The authors cite several case studies, such as examinations of Chumash Indian paints and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Institute’s Tools for Conservation series provides practical scientific procedures and methodologies for the practice of conservation. The series is specifically directed to conservation scientists, conservators, and technical experts in related fields.
