Introduction \n The important research area in nanoplasmonics is the propagation of plasmon waves on the \n surface of metal thin ﬁlms. The practical applications of nanoplasmonics are strongly limited \n by the signiﬁcant losses of SPP waves on metal surfaces [1-3]. The losses in metals inevitably \n limit the propagation length of the SPP wave, the Q factor of plasmonic resonators, and the cross \n section of optical nonlinear processes [4]. This problem is even worse in nanoplasmonics of the \n visible and near infrared spectral ranges. \n There are many experimental researches demonstrating a strong diﬀerence for various metal \n ﬁlms between measured SPP losses and calculated values even for well-known or measured \n optical constants [1,2]. Such a huge mismatch is the result of the metal thin ﬁlms (crystalline \n structure, surface roughness, surface condition) and interfaces (substrate-metal, metal-media) \n imperfections. Single-crystalline metal thin ﬁlms should be a proper way to solve described \n problems, but it is extremely hard to fabricate it with high quality. One of the most challenging \n metal in term of single-crystalline growth is silver, because of its natural chemical instability [5, \n 6].
