Abstract
An analysis is made of the influence of corrosion of a metal electrode (Ag) on the total photoresponse of a barrier structure with a corruga ted interface and on the component associated with the excitation of a surface polariton. Current-voltage and ellipsometric measurements are used to determine the variation of the barrier parameters and the thi ckness of the upper electrode as a function of time.
