Abstract
A theoretical analysis of the experiments of Holland and Hall [Phys. Rev. B 27, 7765 (1983)] is given. The metal-island film is characterized by an effective anisotropic dielectric function. Formulas for reflection and transmission coefficients for an anisotropic layered structure are given. Calculated normal and non-normal reflectivities are in reasonable agreement with experiments. The results explain the observed shift in the surface-plasmon dispersion due to its interaction with localized plasmons.
