Differential reflection spectroscopy of electrode/electrolyte interfaces gives a quantity which in analogy to thermodynamic properties of the surface region shall be called “dielectric surface excess”. The dielectric surface excess has two complex components representing the anisotropy between the dielectric properties tangential and normal to the surface. Methods are described for the experimental determination of the two components. Results for oxide layers on platinum, bromide adsorbed on gold, rhodamin B adsorbed on silver and monomolecular films of lead on silver are discussed.
