They can be created by sputter deposition.
The nucleation phase in the creation of these materials is described by WaltonRhodin theory, and another stage in their formation is island growth. They can be created by sputter deposition. Their properties can be examined by ellipsometry. These materials can be created out of cadmium telluride or amorphous silicon for use in solar panels, and these materials can be used for anti-reflection coatings on camera lenses. One optical effect seen in these materials is caused by one light ray undergoing a phase change at the top of the medium while a ray reflected from the bottom does not. The interaction of the aforementioned rays of light in these materials causes interference, which results in color patterns. For 10 points, name these layers of material with little depth, such as the surface of a soap bubble.
