Abstract: Nanostructured coatings based on the elements Si, O, Mg, and F have been deposited as thin films by sol–gel dip-coating in a particle-free atmosphere. The refractive index of the prepared SiO2 and quaternary Mg–F–Si–O thin films has been determined from spectrophotometric and ellipsometric data. The morphology of those thin films has been observed by TEM.
