Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adom201570001-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Gold films, made suitably thin, exhibit high transparency and high conductivity at the same time. A. Kossoy, K. Leosson, and co‐workers from the University of Iceland and Imperial College London have fabricated continuous gold films as thin as approximately 5 nm on glass substrates, using conventional deposition techniques. Experiments on page 71 show that transmission of light through such films is consistently lower than the theoretically expected value, an effect attributed to atomic‐scale interface roughness. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3gsnd212" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
