Microcrystalline structure of poly-Si films prepared by cathode-type r.f. glow discharge

TL;DR: In this article, a multilayer structure model based on the effective medium approximation was used for ellipsometric data analysis, and it was found that the crystalline fractions of the deposited films increase with the increase of power density and substrate temperature.

X-ray characterization of GaN and related materials at growth temperatures–system design and measurements

TL;DR: In this article, an X-ray diffractometer of the laboratory level was used to investigate the phenomena that occur at the growth temperatures of metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MoVPE) growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gas-Phase Transport and Redeposition of Nano- and Micro-Particulates During Laser Cleaning from Solid Substrates

TL;DR: Theoretical modeling and experimental studies were performed to investigate basic processes underlying transport of model submicron spherical particles in still air and thin liquid layers of variable thickness after their laser-assisted detachment from dry and 2-propanol-dosed Si surfaces as discussed by the authors.

Immersion ellipsometry of semiconductor surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, three methods of immersion ellipsometry based on measuring the ellipsometric parameters in air and nonabsorbing liquids are used for analysing silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide single crystals covered with very thin native oxide layers under normal laboratory conditions.

Ellipsometry and polarized light

TL;DR: In this article, the polarization of light waves and propagation of polarized light through polarizing optical systems are discussed. But the authors focus on the application of ellipsometry in the field of measurement in ellipsometer systems.

A Variational Approach to the Theory of the Effective Magnetic Permeability of Multiphase Materials

TL;DR: In this article, the authors established and applied variational theorems for the derivation of bounds for the effective magnetic permeability of macroscopically homogeneous and isotropic multiphase materials.

Investigation of effective-medium models of microscopic surface roughness by spectroscopic ellipsometry

TL;DR: In this article, Bruggeman and Maxwell Garnett showed that the dielectric properties of microscopically rough layers of thicknesses 100-500 \AA{}A are accurately modeled in the effective medium approximation.
