A practical reference that describes the current science, engineering, and technology of thin films, including design, deposition, characterization, and applications. The volume is divided into four sections: coating design (1 chapter); deposition techniques and related topics (8 chapters); characterization techniques (6 chapters); and applications (3 chapters--graded coatings, damage-resistant laser coatings, and thin-film coatings for optoelectronic devices). Includes some 300 drawings and photographs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
