An ellipsometric and RBS study of TiSi2 formation

TL;DR: In this article, the as-deposited layers, the intermediate states I and II, and the final state III have been characterized by means of spectroscopic ellipsometry (E = 2.0−4.5 eV).

Gestaltung der elektronischen Korrelationen in Perowskit-Heterostrukturen auf atomarer Skala

TL;DR: In this article, a new system for metalorganic aerosol deposition with growth control by in-situ ellipsometry was developed, where the transfer of electrons between different doped perovskite-manganites can be monitored throughout the growth.

Spectroscopic ellipsometry and photoluminescence measurements of as-deposited and annealed silicon rich oxynitride films

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of annealing conditions on the photoluminescence spectra of silicon rich oxynitride films has been investigated and a correlation was seen between the changes in the refractive index, optical band gap, E 04 (energy corresponding to an absorption coefficient of 10 4 ǫ cm − 1 ) and Urbach Energy as a function of composition and annaling conditions.

Phase diagrams for guiding silicon thin film deposition in photovoltaics applications as derived by real time spectroscopic ellipsometry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used real-time spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements of the evolution of the microstructural and optical properties of hydrogenated silicon (Si:H) films during growth to develop deposition phase diagrams.

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.

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.
