Improvements of phase‐modulated ellipsometry
TL;DR: In this article, a photoelastic modulator is used for phase-modulated ellipsometry, and a new method is proposed to adjust the modulation amplitude during the measurements, by measuring the third harmonic of the signal.

Minimal-data approaches for determining outer-layer dielectric responses of films from kinetic reflectometric and ellipsometric measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the dielectric function ∊o of the outermost region is determinable exactly and analytically at any given wavelength from the value and the thickness derivative of the complex reflectances for p-polarized, s- polarized or normally incident light without any knowledge of the underlying structure.

In situ ellipsometry studies on swelling of thin polymer films: A review
TL;DR: In situ ellipsometry is a powerful technique for the characteriza-tion of a polymeric film in contact with a penetrant as discussed by the authors, which can have potential implications for many technological applications, such as protective and functional coatings, sensors, microelectronics, surface modification andmembrane separations.

A solar reflecting material for radiative cooling applications : ZnS pigmented polyethylene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the optical properties of ZnS pigmented polyethylene foils with various thicknesses and volume fractions of pigments, and showed that the optimum solar reflectance of the foil is 0.825 for the available pigment powder; it should be 0.88 if heating were to be avoided at noon with the sun in its zenith.
