      When speaking about the properties of real life as it expresses itself in nature, we learn that it is nonlinear rather than linear. One way to move between both is piecewise linearity, which we can easily generalize to piecewiseness or “hybridicity” in general, e.g., in Engineering, specifically in Electrical Engineering and Electronics, and in Economics.

      The performance of the films is discussed in terms of their hybridicity (organic/inorganic) ratio determined by infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry as well as the presence of anisotropy assessed by the nanostructure-based spectroscopic ellipsometry model.
