Nanostructured Films and Coatings [Paperback]

Nanostructured films and coatings possess unique properties due to both size and interface effects. They find many applications in areas such as electronics, catalysis, protection, data storage, optics and sensors. The focus of the present book is on synthesis and processing; advanced characterization techniques; properties (including mechanical, chemical, electronic, thermal, catalytic, and magnetic); modelling of interlayer and intralayer interfaces; and applications.Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Santorini, Greece, June 28-30, 1999Nanostructured films and coatings possess unique properties due to both size and interface effects.
