Growth, characterization, and physical properties of noncrystalline and nanostructured silicon-based alloys
Fabrizio Giorgis,Candido Pirri +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main growth technologies and characterization techniques dealing with amorphous silicon-based alloys are presented and the luminescence properties of these materials are described, taking into account the most accredited models concerning carrier radiative recombination processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of roughness, porosity and grain morphology on the optical properties of ultrathin Ag films
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors quantitatively describe the optical-morphological relationships for Ag films in the 5.4 to 63 nm range thermally evaporated on fused silica, and provide the thickness dependent trend of the morphology-optical response correlation.

Thermally induced modifications of the optic properties of lead zirconate titanate thin films obtained on different substrates by sol-gel synthesis
S. D’Elia,Marco Castriota,Alfonso Policicchio,Nicola Scaramuzza,Carlo Versace,Enzo Cazzanelli,Raffaele Giuseppe Agostino,Carlo Vena,Giuseppe Strangi,Roberto Bartolino +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the morphologic and structural properties of both PZT thin films and substrates have been investigated by scanning electron microscope and their composition was determined by energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of spherical domains at the polystyrene thin film–water interface
TL;DR: The study showed that spherical domains that readily form at the polystyrene (PS)–water interface have similar characteristics to micro- and nanobubbles, but their insensitivity to lateral force, absence of long-range hydrophobic attraction, and the presence of possible contaminants and scratches suggested that these objects are most likely blisters formed by the stretched PS film.

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.
