Optical properties of carbon nanofiber photonic crystals [PDF]
Carbon nanofibers (CNF) are used as components of planar photonic crystals. Square and rectangular lattices and random patterns of vertically aligned CNF were fabricated and their properties studied using ellipsometry.

Optical characterization of aminosilane-modified silicon dioxide surface for biosensing [PDF]
Silicon dioxide surfaces, functionalized by two aminosilane compounds (3-amino-propyl-triethoxysilane, APTES; 3-amino-propyl-dimethyl-ethoxysilane, APDMES) both dissolved in different solvents (dry ethanol and toluene), have been investigated by standard

"Three-Color" Chemical Selectivity between Oxide, Nitride, and Silicon: Area-Selective Deposition of Metal Oxide and Polymer on SiN and Si-H versus SiO<sub>2</sub>. [PDF]
Molybdenum hexafluoride as a pretreatment is able to create a chemical contrast between SiN and SiO2 surfaces via selective fluorine passivation of the oxide. One dose of MoF6 enabled 9.7 nm of selective deposited TiO2 on SiN versus SiO2 with selectivity >0.92 on a nanoscale SiN/SiO2 patterned surface.

Ellipsometric measurements by use of photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion [PDF]
We present a novel interferometric technique for performing ellipsometric measurements. This technique relies on the use of a non-classical optical source, namely, polarization-entangled twin photons generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion ...

Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry Characterization of Graphene Oxide in Methanol Films
It has been widely established that solvents modify the functional groups on the graphene oxide (GO) basal plane and, thus, modify its reactivity. Despite the increasing interest in GO films, a less studied aspect is the influence of methanol on the ...

Plasma Polymerized Organosilicon Thin Films for Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Detection
Plasma polymerized (PP) thin films deposited in a soft or intermediate plasma discharge from hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) were developed as sensors for the detection of volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors.

Argon irradiation effects on the structural and optical properties of reactively sputtered CrN films [PDF]
The present study deals with CrN films irradiated at room temperature (RT) with 200 keV Ar+ ions. The CrN layers were deposited by d.c. reactive sputtering on Si (100) wafers, at nitrogen partial pressure of 5×10-4 mbar, to a total thickness of ...
