Refined effective-medium model for the optical properties of nanoparticles coated with anisotropic molecules

TL;DR: In this article, a simple yet complete effective dielectric function for an anisotropic layer of polarizable molecules adsorbed on a metallic surface is provided. But the model is not suitable for the case of non-vacuum embedding media and accounts for orientation effects, coverage dependence through dipole-dipole interactions, and image-duplication effects.

Hybrid organic/inorganic nanolaminate structures with enhanced tribo-mechanical properties for optical applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the optical and tribo-mechanical properties of composite nanolaminates with constant total thickness were studied as a function of the number of SiO2/SiOCH bilayers within the stack.

Determination of the thickness and optical constants of nanofilms produced by the thermal oxidation of InP with V2O5, V2O5 + PbO, and NiO + PbO chemical stimulator layers grown by magnetron sputtering

TL;DR: In this paper, the thickness and optical constants of films grown through the thermal oxidation of V2O5/InP, (NiO + PbO)/InP and (V2O 5/PbO) structures produced by magnetron sputtering have been determined by spectral ellipsometry.
