A microscopically thin layer of material that is deposited onto a metal, ceramic, semiconductor or plastic base. Typically less than one micron thick, thin films can be conductive or dielectric ...

Specialist optical coating engineers supplying thin film coatings for over 30 years. We supply oxide coatings: mirrors, filters, Anti-reflection coatings, NDF's, beamsplitters etc and metallic mirrors ...

The physical behaviour of thin films often remarkably deviates from that of the corresponding bulk material. The intent of this book is to report on the electrical, optical, and structural properties ...

A new study led by Rice University materials scientist Lane Martin sheds light on how the extreme miniaturization of thin ...

TIPA's 312MET Premium film is designed for snack packaging to address the need for sustainable alternatives in a growing market.

Plastic that conducts electricity might sound impossible. But there is a special class of materials known as "electronic ...

What if your electronic devices could adapt on the fly to temperature, pressure, or impact? Thanks to a new breakthrough in ...

We have investigated the UV and VUV optical properties of various metal, oxide, nitride, silicide, and intermetallic thin films and multilayer film stacks for optical and barrier layer applications.

To the point where, in most cases, they can quite literally flex and bend without breaking — though not so much if they're attached to rigid materials like glass or metal. Thin film solar panels ...

The interesting behaviour of light under the influence of plasmons not only allows superlensing, in which perfect imaging is possible through a flat thin metal film, but can also provide nano ...
