Abstract
Optical constants of thin Ag films (~50 nm thick) deposited by thermal evaporation on prisms were measured at 632.8 nm by the attenuated total reflection method. The effects of Ar-ion energy and current on the refractive index and extinction coefficient of IAD Ag films are presented. Their electrical resistivity, measured with a four-point probe, is also discussed. Finally, the results of humidity tests are described.
