S. Henon et J. Meunier, ELLIPSOMETRY AND REFLECTIVITY AT THE BREWSTER-ANGLE - TOOLS TO STUDY THE BENDING ELASTICITY AND PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN MONOLAYERS AT LIQUID INTERFACES, Thin solid films, 234(1-2), 1993, pp. 471-474
In recent years, two non-perturbative techniques derived from ellipsom
etry and reflectivity at the Brewster angle have been developed to stu
dy monolayers at liquid interfaces. The first is an ellipsometric meth
od to measure the bending elastic modulus of monolayers at the oil-wat
er interfaces. The second is microscopy at the Brewster angle.
