TL;DR: It is found that controlling the kinetic energy of the matrix precursors by means of the oxygen pressure in the deposition chamber facilitates the survival of the encapsulated species, whose well-conserved optical properties such as emission intensity, luminescence spectrum, fluorescence lifetime, and efficiency as single-photon emitters are documented.

In situ spectroscopic ellipsometry for the characterization of polysilicon formation inside a vertical furnace
Peter Petrik,Wolfgang Lehnert,C. Schneider,Miklós Fried,T. Lohner,József Gyulai,Heiner Ryssel +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a spectroscopic ellipsometer was integrated in a vertical furnace for measurement and control during chemical vapor deposition and thermal oxidation processes, which led to a novel beam-guiding system.

Ellipsometric analysis of silicon surfaces textured by ns and sub-ps KrF laser pulses
TL;DR: In this paper, the treatment of single crystal silicon surface by series of sub-ps and ns pulses from KrF excimer lasers was investigated, and the change in surface properties was observed by spectroscopic ellipsometry, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

Characterization of thin Al films using grating coupling to surface plasma waves
TL;DR: A detailed characterization of the optical, microstructural, and electrical properties of thin (5-50 nm) Al films grown by thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, and ion assisted sputtering is reported in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical and surface characterization of amorphous boron nitride thin films for use as blood compatible coatings
TL;DR: In this paper, the haemocompatibility properties of homogeneous and amorphous boron nitride (a-BN) thin films, through the adsorption of two basic blood plasma proteins, human serum albumin (HSA) and fibrinogen (Fib), were investigated.

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
Z. Hashin,S. Shtrikman +1 more
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.
