Improvement of secondary electron emission property of MgO protective layer for an alternating current plasma display panel by addition of TiO2

TL;DR: In this paper, an e-beam evaporation method was used to prep Mg 2−2 x Ti x O 2 films to be used as possible substitutes for the conventional MgO protective layer.

The effect of oxidation on physical properties of porous silicon layers for optical applications

TL;DR: In this article, structural and optical studies have been performed to understand the optical loss mechanisms in porous silicon based waveguides, and the refractive index was measured and compared to that determined by the Bruggeman model.

New approach in the monitoring and characterization of titanium nitride thin films

TL;DR: In situ and ex situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), Raman spectroscopy (RS), x-ray photo-electron spectrographs (XPS), and Auger electron spectrograms (AES) have been used to study the stoichiometry and characterize TiN x thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering at various stoichiometries as mentioned in this paper.

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.
