Abstract
Single crystal surfaces of Ag and Au in contact with air and electrolytic solutions were studied by surface plasmon (SP) excitation using attenuated total reflection in the so-called Otto configuration. The dispersion curves for Au(111), Ag(111) and Ag(110) surfaces are shown and discussed. For Ag(110) marked differences in the dispersion curves for the SP excitation in [11̄0] and [001̄] direction are found which reflect the anisotropy in the surface optical constants. A spectroelectrochemical cell was designed which allows potentiostatic control of the electrodeelectrolyte nterface during the optical measurements. As a first result the influence of the electrode potential on the SP excitation energy for Ag(111) in 0.5M NaClO 4 has been determined.
