Propagation of surface polaritons near phase-transition points
Agranovich V.M.
The scattering of surface polaritons by fluctuations of the order parameter may serve as the basis for a method of investigating phase transitions in both transparent and opaque media (e.g., in metals). The intensity of this scattering was determined for polaritons propagating along the surface of the metal coated with a thin dielectric film, near the point of the phase transition in the film.
