Visible Region Polarization Spectroscopic Studies of Template-Synthesized Gold Nanoparticles Oriented in Polyethylene

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained visible range polarization spectra of template-synthesized gold nanoparticles oriented in polyethylene (PE) for all particle sizes considered (radii 16, 38, and 60 nm) and the degree of linear dichroism increases with the amount of gold deposited in the template synthesis step prior to extraction and orientation.

Structural characterization of organic monolayers on Si〈111〉 from capacitance measurements

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that a monolayer thickness requires careful control of the amount of radicals generated by the reduction of diazonium salts and that the influence of the molecule structure on the density of layers and the reoxidation at modified surfaces are investigated.

Progress in the room-temperature optical functions of semiconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the experimental methods for the determination of optical functions in the 1-6-eV spectral range and the available models for calculating the optical functions is given.

Improvement in quantum efficiency of thin film Si solar cells due to the suppression of optical reflectance at transparent conducting oxide/Si interface by TiO2∕ZnO antireflection coating

TL;DR: In this paper, the suppression of optical reflection at the transparent conducting oxide/Si interface of thin film Si p-i-n solar cells is shown by application of a TiO2 antireflection (AR) coating.

Effect of bleaching on color change and refractive index of dental composite resins.

TL;DR: Results suggested that replacement of such composite restorations may be required after bleaching, as the effects of three bleaching agents on the color change and refractive index of three dental composites.

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.
