TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that a thin film of contaminant on a microwave window may absorb up to 50% of the incident power, even if the film thickness is only a small fraction of its resistive skin depth.
Abstract
With the use of a simple model, it is shown that a thin film of contaminant on a microwave window may absorb up to 50% of the incident power, even if the film thickness is only a small fraction of its resistive skin depth. This unexpectedly large amount of absorption is conjectured to have played a significant role in window failure. The temperature rise in a thin film is estimated.

Ultra-thin perfect absorber employing a tunable phase change material

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that perfect absorption can be achieved in a system comprising a single lossy dielectric layer of thickness much smaller than the incident wavelength on an opaque substrate by utilizing the nontrivial phase shifts at interfaces between lossy media.
