Total internal reflection ellipsometry of metal-organic compound structures modified with gold nanoparticles

Total internal reflection ellipsometry (TIRE) technique was used to investigate the optical response of different hybrid multilayer systems. It was shown that the optical response was significantly changed by gold nanoparticles, which have been introduced for modification of functional properties of hybrid system. Nevertheless, the dispersion of optical parameters for gold nanoparticles was quite close in various hybrid systems in the case of adequate models used for interpretation of TIRE data.
