Effect of the reflection coefficients on the conductivity of a thin metal layer in the case of an inhomogeneous time-periodic electric field

Abstract

In the case of an inhomogeneous time-periodic electric field E, the electrical current distribution is evaluated for a thin metal layer with different reflection coefficients q₁ and q₂ of its surfaces. The dependence of the conductive function Σ on the frequency of the external inhomogeneous time-periodic electric field and on the coefficient of the inhomogeneous field κ is analyzed. The relaxation time approximation to the kinetic Boltzmann equation for electron transport is used.
