Optical Characterization of ALD-Coated Nanoporous Alumina Structures: Effect of Sample Geometry or Coated Layer Material.

ABSTRACT: Optical characterization of nanoporous alumina-based structures (NPA-bSs), obtained by ALD deposition of a thin conformal SiO₂ layer on two alumina nanosupports with different geometrical parameters (pore size and interpore distance), was performed by two noninvasive and nondestructive techniques such as spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and photoluminescence (Ph) spectra. SE measurements allow us to estimate the refraction index and extinction coefficient for the studied samples and their dependence with wavelength for the 250-1700 nm interval, showing the effect of sample geometry and cover-layer material (SiO₂, TiO₂, or Fe₂O₃), which significantly affect the oscillatory character of both parameters, as well as changes associated with
