Glancing Angle Deposition of Thin Films: Engineering the Nanoscale

This book provides a highly practical treatment of GLAD technology, gathering existing procedures, methodologies, and experimental designs into a single, cohesive volume which will be useful both as a ready reference for those in the field and as a definitive guide for those entering it. It covers:

• History and development of GLAD techniques
• Properties and Characterization of GLAD fabricated films
• Design and engineering of optical GLAD films including fabrication and testing
• Post-deposition processing and integration
• Deposition systems for GLAD fabrication

Also includes a patent survey of relevant literature and a survey of GLAD’s wide range of material properties and diverse applications.
