Thin Films

The book provides research scientists and engineers in industry information and data on the materials processing, characterization, and determination of materials’ physical-chemical properties. The book highlights optical and chemical properties obtained on novel materials using a range of deposition methods by two different spectroscopic techniques: SE and UV-VIS-NIR. Emphasizing applications from across a number of domains including Healthcare, Opto-Electronic, and Defense, the book is ideal for academic researchers, graduate/undergraduate students, and practicing engineers concerned with optical coating technologies. - Describes creation of new materials thermal evaporation, sputtering, electrochemical and chemical-vacuum deposition; - Explains a technology for material evaporation, uniformity calculation, thickness measurement and layer characterization; - Highlights the correlation of optical and chemical properties obtained from spectroscopic methods.
