What if a film conductivity exceeds the speed of light?

  • 1. Institute of Solid State Physics (USSR)

Description

The authors investigate the electrodynamics of a thin film with account taken of retardation effects. They show that for a two-dimensional conductivity σ>c/2π there exist weakly damped plasma waves at the lowest frequencies. The authors calculate the reflection, transmission, and absorption coefficients of obliquely incident light
