The observed transmittance increased with a decrease in the thickness, without showing a gap structure. The measured complex dielectric dispersion was analyzed using a Drude model, and the plasma frequency (xp) and damping constant (c) were found to be inversely proportional to the thickness. The results strongly indicate the existence of surface metallic states, whose carrier density and damping constant are estimated to be 3.08 1019 cm 3 and 4.83 102 THz, respectively.}, title = {Surface metallic states in ultrathin Bi(001) films studied with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy}, volume = {100}, year = {2012} }
