I Permittivity (epsilon) change via temperature + optics effect?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the complexity of understanding how permittivity changes with temperature and its potential impact on Snell's law. There is a call for clarity in the original question, as responses indicate confusion over the phrasing. Participants express frustration with the reliance on AI-generated answers, emphasizing the need for human input in scientific inquiries. Additionally, there is a request for a centralized database for physics articles, akin to PubMed for medical literature. The thread concludes with a reminder that clearer questions will yield better responses.

TL;DR Summary
Experiments: freeze binoculars view refraction change, + degassed water under high heat vs. near frozen water refraction change.
I got this from chatgpt:

It says "not simple and straightforward", but can we assume proportional ? So is there a visible alteration in Snell angle ? Also, for applied physics databases, what would be a pubmed equivalent, hosting all titles and synopses ? In physics the articles seem to be fragmented between different databases ?
Thx.

ChatGPT is designed to make up a plausible-sounding answer. Sometimes it is even correct, but you can't count on it.

If you would clearly post your question here, real people can take a shot at answering it.

What, you don't understand this very clear thread start? What in the world is WRONG with you? o0)
 
Upon further review, this thread is closed. OP is advised that they can start a new thread with their question if they do it without using an AI chatbot's "help", and make the thread start understandable.
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
