Thin Film Materials

Stress, Defect Formation and Surface Evolution

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Thin film mechanical behavior and stress presents a technological challenge for materials scientists, physicists and engineers. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the major issues and topics dealing with stress, defect formation, surface evolution and allied effects in thin film materials. Physical phenomena are examined from the continuum down to the sub-microscopic length scales, with the connections between the structure of the material and its behavior described. Theoretical concepts are underpinned by discussions on experimental methodology and observations. Fundamental scientific concepts are embedded through sample calculations, a broad range of case studies with practical applications, thorough referencing, and end of chapter problems. With solutions to problems available on-line, this book will be essential for graduate courses on thin films and the classic reference for researchers in the field.

Rezensionen

'The book is a landmark in a rich subject which has seen many developments over the past decade. In addition to being beautifully written, the book contains many illustrations, micrographs, and problems for students. The book will serve as a graduate text, as well as a comprehensive monograph everyone working in the field will want to own.' Professor John W. Hutchinson, Harvard University
