This image shows how moth-inspired nanostructures stop thin-film interference by blocking reflected light. The images on the far right show a slide with no thin film. The images in the middle show the ...

Interference filters are frequently employed in transmissive configurations where the light passes through the filter to produce a specific effect (band-pass, long-pass, short-pass, among others).

Optical characterisation of thin films is a critical field that bridges fundamental research and application in materials science and engineering. It encompasses the use of various spectroscopic ...

Diagram of an X-ray Reflectometry (XRR) setup: This schematic shows the arrangement of the X-ray tube, Gӧbel mirror, sample holder, and detector. The X-rays are emitted from the tube, shaped by slits ...

Thin films are two-dimensional (2D) material layers deposited on a bulk substrate, possessing a thickness of a few nanometers to impart properties that cannot be realized by base materials. The unique ...
