Effective dielectric function of mixtures of three or more materials: a numerical procedure for computations
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical procedure for solving the mathematical equations that define the effective medium for a mixture of materials is presented, and the basic idea is to transform the inherent complex root-finding problem into a minimization task in real space.

Protein adsorption on and swelling of polyelectrolyte brushes:A simultaneous ellipsometry-quartz crystal microbalance study
Eva Bittrich,Keith B. Rodenhausen,Klaus-Jochen Eichhorn,Tino Hofmann,Mathias Schubert,Manfred Stamm,Petra Uhlmann +6 more
TL;DR: With a coupled spectroscopic ellipsometry-quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation experimental setup, quantitative information can be obtained about the amount of buffer components coupled to a poly(acrylic acid) brush surface in swelling and protein adsorption processes.

Mixed films of TiO 2 –SiO 2 deposited by double electron-beam coevaporation
TL;DR: Linear and Bruggeman's effective medium approximation models fit the experimental data better than other models and are used to fabricate TiO( 2)-SiO(2) mixed films.

Interface properties and structural evolution of TiN/Si and TiN/GaN heterostructures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) to study the evolution of microstructure, stoichiometry, and electron-transport properties of TiN heterostructures grown on Si and gallium nitride (GaN) by reactive magnetron sputtering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical properties of gas‐evaporated metal particles: Effects of a fractal structure
TL;DR: In this article, an effective medium theory for fractal structures is developed for the case where both the particles and the surrounding medium percolate, and a structural parameter which can be related to the fractal dimension is present in the theory.

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.
