<p>I know a standard block is 9.6mm tall and a plate is 1/3 of that at 3.2mm.  I found several blocks that are 4.8mm tall or 1/2.  What are they called?  Are they still made and where can I get some?</p>

Are they really LEGO bricks? (Can you see the LEGO marking on them, are they compatible with known LEGO bricks?)

I know there are some LEGO Technic parts that are half a stud tall, but they are not bricks. Is this what you are talking about?
