The complex dielectric function of slightly differently prepared polycrystalline Al films is determined ellipsometrically for photon energies h ω between 1 and 4 eV. The results can be explained by symmetrical and asymmetrical EMA for h ω ≧ 1.8 eV through the incorporation of Al 2 O 3 . Below 1.8 eV significant discrepances occur due to resonantly enhanced electric fields in nonspherical Al grains surrounded by a dielectric.
