Optical properties of ultrathin metal oxide and metal films : effect of free electrons, quantum confinement and localized surface plasmon resonance by Li, Xiao Dong

“…The evolution of the dielectric function is shown related to the changes in the interband absorption, discrete-exciton absorption, and continuum-exciton absorption, which can be attributed to the quantum confinement effect on both the band gap and exciton binding energies. Thickness dependence of optical properties of a-IGZO thin films has also been observed. …”
