Influence of roughness, porosity and grain morphology on the optical properties of ultrathin Ag films

TL;DR: In this article, the optical-morphological relationship for Ag films in the 5.4 to 63nm range thermally evaporated on fused silica was quantitatively described and the experimental reflectance and transmission spectra were reproduced by a multilayer model employing an effective medium approximation.

Spectroellipsometry characterization of directly bonded silicon-on-insulator structures

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and crystal quality of directly bonded silicon on insulator with Si thicknesses from 1 to 7 μm and SiO 2 thicknesses of 1 to 2 μm have been characterized non-destructively using spectroscopic ellipsometry.

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.
