Palik E.D. (ed.) Handbook of optical constants of solids, Vol.1

San Diego: Academic, 1985. - 804 p.
The present handbook is an attempt to collect references and tabulate n and k for a reasonably large number ofmaterials of technological and physics interest, so that a person having the need could easily find the numbers over the widest spectral range, ideally x-ray to microwave, in a grid fine enough to yield the number by inspection or by a simple interpolation, and provide the pertinent references if more details were needed. For each material a critique is provided to indicate how the numbers were obtained from experiment and how good they are.
