Physics of Thin Films: Advances in Research and Development: v. 7 - Hardcover

Volume 7, 1973, Academic Press: Taken from the Preface: "In the first article the status of research on the structure of amorphous films is reviewed by D. B. Dove." "The second chapter by W. R. Hunter deals with metal film optical filters for use in the extreme ultraviolet. In particular, the preparation,optical properties, and applications of unbacked metal filters in laboratory and space instrumentation are discussed." "The third article by H. Kressel and H. Nelson presents a timely review of the impressive body of work that has developed in recent years in the new field of liquid phase epitaxy." "The fourth review covers a topic which has long been a fundamental interest to metallurgists and thin film physicists, and more recently has achieved special significance for the designers of thin film microcircuit components, i.e., electromigration in thin films." "In the fifth and final chapter of this volume, a novel thin film topic not hitherto included in this series is introduced. V. K. Srivastava covers in some detail the historical background, preparation, and structural, optical, and electrical properties of built-up molecular films, and concludes by summarizing some of the interesting and diverse applications of such layers, e.g., in thickness gauges, optical and X-ray gratings, chemical analyses, and dielectric film devices."
