Abstract

The article provides an accurate analytical approximation of the expressions of the known results of the electronic theory of reflection of metals, i.e. for the spectral and integrated reflectivity of and (Drude and Hagen-Rubens formulas, as well as the formulas of Ashkinass, Foote, Eckert and Drake, which are fragments of power series). Compact closed expressions for and are obtained, and published experimental data on the reflectivity of the polished metal surface in new coordinate systems are processed and analyzed: (ln)-2~λ and ln()-1~ T. It turned out that the experimental data on in the new coordinates clearly “lie” on the straight lines, which in the general case do not pass through the origin, which required introducing into the expression a new parameter − λо, taking into account the difference between the "optical" conductivity σо(ω) from the electrical σе, where lо constant specific to each of the metal (for example, Ag, and Al: λо>0, for Ni and W: λо= 0, for Au and Cu: λо<0). In obtaining the final formula for a new mathematical derivation scheme was used, starting with an analysis of a pair of equivalent expressions of the complex refractive index of the metal — much more justified and brief.
