Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the dielectric function of lead (Pb) in high-frequency regimes, specifically seeking reference values and graphs. Participants clarify that the original mention of "Pd" referred to palladium, while the focus should be on lead. The recommended approach to obtain the dielectric function includes utilizing Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) and searching for relevant optical measurements. Resources such as the "EELS Atlas" and specific online searches for dielectric function measurements are suggested for further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of dielectric functions in materials science
  • Familiarity with Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS)
  • Knowledge of optical measurement techniques
  • Basic chemistry knowledge regarding elements like lead (Pb)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "EELS Atlas" for insights on dielectric function measurements
  • Explore methods for measuring dielectric functions using EELS
  • Investigate optical measurement techniques for dielectric properties
  • Look into existing literature on lead's dielectric function in high-frequency applications
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and materials scientists interested in the dielectric properties of lead and their applications in high-frequency technologies.

TL;DR
reference values and graphs
Regarding the electrical permittivity of the metal in a high frequency regime, I cannot find research material related to the lead dielectric function (PD). I can't get the matatrial as values, I'll let you comment on that. I know that Pd can inhibit the amount of gamma rays in the x-ray case, but I would like to know about values related to that.

Could you explain a bit more? What does PD stand for? Is Pd Palladium? By lead, do you mean the element?

This element I'm saying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead

Right. So you want the dielectric function of lead or Pb (not Pd).

The best way might be to look at EELS-spectra (Electron energy loss spectra). They can give you a good estimate of the dielectric function of metals, I believe.
Google "EELS Atlas". Might help.
Otherwise there should be optical measurements, but I don't know so much about that.
