Abstract

Please find the PhotonicVASEfit Tutorial at  https://nanohub.org/resources/22447

PhotonicVASEfit is a tool to fit optical constants of materials to the data obtained with Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (VASE). The tool is initially designed to retrieve the surface conductivity of a single layer graphene sheet deposited on a substrate. Built-in support includes a graphene specific integral model - RPA (Random Phase Approximation). Among general built-in models are Splines and Critical Points (CP) model (relaxed Lorentz oscillators). Furthermore, any custom user-defined material model (defined as a Matlab function)  could be used. Current version supports a structure of 2D material layer on a substrate. Extensions to a more general geometry and support for more materials are expected in next versions.
