Effective medium theory and angular dispersion of optical constants in films with oblique columnar structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical properties of thin films, containing metal and voids in an oblique columnar structure, were modelled in the quasi-static limit, and the complex dielectric function was shown to be strongly dependent on the angle of incidence and on the columnar orientation for p-polarised light.

In situ real-time studies of nickel silicide phase formation
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of NiSi films on Si was studied using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, and ellipsometry, and their optical databases in the 2-4 eV photon range were established.
