Abstract
Earlier attempts to characterize rough surfaces by means of surface-plasmon spectroscopy have been unsuccessful [H. Raether, Surf. Sci. 125, 624 (1983)]. In the present paper we show that certain assumptions in the theoretical model were inappropriate. Correcting these assumptions we are able to obtain excellent agreement between predicted and experimental intensities of both specular and diffuse scattering from a rough surface.Keywords
