15. WP6 : metrology of the metal/semiconductor ratio (MSR) Goal : developing a routine method to measure the MSR Optical spectroscopy technique(s) : absorption, PLE, RR Method 1 : optical absorption in surfactant-based dispersion   narrowing of the spectroscopic signatures   avoids texture-induced effects   one has to know the OA coefficients Alternative : measurements on transparent quartz substrates Method 2 : RR spectroscopy (any substrate)   very high sensitivity and selectivity   one has to mesure the E ii and select a couple of E laser   one has to measure the RR cross sections (coupling with method 1) Alternatives : relative (semi-quantitative) measurements Couplings with PLE and TEM will help!
