Ar. Biryaltseva et al., METHODS FOR CALCULATING THE OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THIN METALLIC-FILMS, Soviet journal of optical technology, 60(9), 1993, pp. 631-633
Two methods are examined for calculating the effective parameters that
define the optical properties of thin metallic films, allowing for fl
uctuations in their thickness on a substrate surface and using multian
gle ellipsometric measurements. The concept of a surface with complex
conductivity is used for island films, and modified versions of the us
ual formulas, taking thickness fluctuations into account, are used for
continuous films.
