Abstract
Infrared optical constants collected from the literature are tabulated. The data for the noble metals and Al, Pb, and W can be reasonably fit using the Drude model. It is shown that -∊l(ω) = ∊2(ω) ≃ ω2p/(2ω2τ) at the damping frequency ω = ωτ. Also -∊l(ω τ) ≃ - (½) ∊l(0), where the plasma frequency is ωp.

- For a single carrier type (electrons) the plasma frequency ωp is as given in Eq. (5) where the dielectric constant is ∊∞ (the contribution from the core electrons at high frequencies). Often m* = m and ∊∞ = 1 are assumed. For discussion see H. Ehrenreich and M. H. Cohen, Phys. Rev. 115, 786 (1959); the last paragraph on p. 790 is most relevant.
