TL;DR: In this article, an ellipsoidal shape with a major axis parallel to the ripples has been fabricated on amorphous dielectric films by ion etching and used as templates to elaborate arrays of aligned Ag nanoparticles by grazing incidence ion-beam sputtering.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the identification and nanometer scale characterization over a large energy range of random, disorder-driven, surface plasmons in silver semicontinuous films embedded in silicon nitride.

TL;DR: In this paper, the analytical expressions of the effective dielectric tensor of a single layer of polydisperse ellipsoidal nanoparticles with two of their principal axes in the layer's plane and embedded in a homogeneous Dielectric medium are calculated in the quasistatic coupled dipole approximation.

TL;DR: An easy-to-handle model is presented that quantitatively links the nanostructure and optical response of the films, which are considered as dielectric/metal:dielectrics/dielectric trilayers, with the central nanocomposite layer being an effective medium whose optical properties are described by an anisotropic dielectrics tensor.

TL;DR: In situ and real-time surface differential reflectance (SDR) spectroscopy is employed to study the growth of metallic Ag and/or dielectric Si 3 N 4 films during deposition by magnetron sputtering as mentioned in this paper.
