Will a thin layer of palladium deposited on the semiconducting material absorb UV light?

12 December 2014 1 2K Report

Can a thin film (200nm) palladium deposited on a semiconducting material (ZnS, SnO2 CdO, ZnO etc) by thermal evaporation method absorb light?

If yes, please suggest possible theory behind it.

Alokmay Datta

A metal film thicker than 10 nm should primarily reflect light as only below that thickness surface plasmons become important enough to be majority absorbers. Below 3 nm, the metal-nonmetal Mott transition takes place and the entire film starts absorbing.
