Total internal reflection ellipsometry (TIRE) is used to study adsorption of human serum albumin and fibrinogen on thin gold films. TIRE shows very high sensitivity for protein monolayers adsorbed on metal surfaces when surface plasmon resonance effects are utilized. The measured data, expressed in ellipsometric angles psi and D are of several orders of magnitude larger in comparison with those from similar experiments performed with traditional ellipsometry.

- A new measurement technique called total internal reflection ellipsometry (TIRE) is proposed, combining ellipsometry and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to analyze thin films and monitor adsorption and desorption processes.
- The theory and application of TIRE, specifically under conditions of total internal reflection, are discussed and supported through simulations using the Fresnel formalism.
- TIRE demonstrates significantly improved sensitivity for thin-film measurements, with practical applications in fields like protein adsorption, corrosion monitoring, and interactions with opaque liquids on metal surfaces.
