\item Number of applications where high absorbance into IR is required
\item These have all been studied before though.
\end{itemize}
- \item They are the way of the future. Embrace the future.
\item The electron spectra of metal-blacks have not yet been examined.
\item Remarkable difference between Metal-Black films (bad vacuum) and normal metal films (UHV)
\begin{itemize}
- \item No (detailed/satisfactory) explanation (that I can find :P) for difference
+ \item No (detailed/satisfactory) explanation (that I can find...) for difference
\end{itemize}
\item Talk about plasmonic based computing? Moore's law? Applications to thin film solar cells?
\begin{itemize}
\item Simplest case is a step potential.
\item Various improvements on this model, discussed in Komolov's book.
- \item It would be interesting to adapt my CQM project to numerically solve for an electron entering the various potentials
\begin{itemize}
- \item Only do this when EVERYTHING ELSE is done! Otherwise I will get too involved with it!
+ \item Possibly adapt CQM project to model these potentials, if I get time
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\item Limitations of theoretical models
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Real surface is not a step potential
+ \item Adsorption of foreign particles onto the surface also plays a large role in determining the electron spectrum.
+ \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\item Main reference: Komolov "Total Current Spectroscopy"
\item "Solid State Physics" textbooks and "Electron Spectroscopy" textbooks
\item Wrote software for data aquisition and data processing
\end{itemize}
