Palik E.D. (ed.) Handbook of optical constants of solids, Vol.3

San Diego: Academic, 1998. - 999 p.
The two previous volumes of Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids (HOC I and HOC II) contained about 85 materials. The present volume adds about 58 more materials, roughly divided into equal numbers of metals, semiconductors, and insulators. A long list of potential materials was circulated among possible critiquers. They chose and/or recommended the ones presented here. There are still some materials omitted because of a lack of critiquers. These include Bi, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Pb, Zn, Zr, ZnO, HgS, HgSe, Pb_xSn_1-xSe, PbO, MoS₂, Cd₃As₂, GaS, LiOH, NaBr, NaI, KF, LiC1, LiBr, ZrO2, BaO, and NiO. Note that 43 of the 92 chemical elements are done and 143 of the 100,000 (or more) chemical compounds.
