A STUDY OF THE SODIUM TUNGSTEN BRONZES BY HIGH-RESOLUTION ELECTRON-ENERGY LOSS SPECTROSCOPY

Effective masses of conduction electrons in the sodium tungsten bronzes have been determined from the frequency of surface plasmon features in high-resolution electron energy loss spectra. Good agreement is found with effective masses from optical experiments. The results support the view that there...

Description
Summary:Effective masses of conduction electrons in the sodium tungsten bronzes have been determined from the frequency of surface plasmon features in high-resolution electron energy loss spectra. Good agreement is found with effective masses from optical experiments. The results support the view that there is no major depletion in the carrier concentration at the surface of the bronzes. © 1982.
