Quantum Electron Plasma and Interaction of S-wave with Thin Metallic Film

Abstract

An interaction of electromagnetic S-wave with thin flat metallic film is numerically studied for the quantum degenerate electron plasma. One considers the reflectance, transmittance and absorptance power coefficients. A contribution of quantum wave properties of electrons to the power coefficients is shown in comparison of the coefficients with ones evaluated for both the classical spatial dispersion and the Drude - Lorentz approaches. This contribution is detected for the infrared and terahertz frequencies in case of nanoscale film width.
