For a dielectric ellipsoid oriented at angle (Formula presented) relative to the z axis the dipole dielectric constants (signified by superscript d) perpendicular and parallel to the interface averaged over the azimuthal angle are, respectively, (Formula presented) and (Formula presented), where the hypergeometric function (Formula presented) For each z we can now calculate the dipole dielectric constant averaged over the angular distribution (Formula presented), namely, (Formula presented) Ellipsometry is sensitive to the composition averaged dielectric constant at each z (Formula presented), which can be calculated from the two-component Clausius-Mossotti relationship (Formula presented), where (Formula presented) 13 and (Formula presented) is the local volume fraction of dipoles Eq.
