Characterization in Optica/ Materia/s provides information for understanding the properties and performance of optical materials under the influence of the various characterization techniques. Surface and interfacial properties are key to the optical response of a material, and their control and modification during materials processing is necessary to achieve desired behavior. Characterization of Optica/ Materia/s focuses on how surface morphology, microstructure, and chemical bonding influence the optical response of a material, and it illuminates methods used to characterize thin films, multilayer structures, and modified surfaces,
