Abstract
The component of electroreflectance (ER) of metals due to the modulation of the diffusion layer characteristics has been investigated. It has been shown that the contribution of this effect to the total ER signal is greatest at large incidence angles. The diffusion contribution to ER is particularly great near the desorption peak of the organic substance. Analytical expressions for the diffusion component of ER as a function of the incidence angle and potential drop modulation frequency have been obtained. The theoretical conclusions have been verified experimentally.
