The report comprises a detailed description of the materials, techniques and problems in each of the three major areas of thin film applications--dielectrics, magnetics and semiconductors. Included in the report are also basic theories necessary for a complete understanding of the physical and chemical processes related to the areas of interest. Theoretical analysis leads to a description of the critical physical, chemical and structural requirements of films for device applications. The state of the art of all aspects of ceramic thin film technology is critically reviewed, and recommendations are suggested to overcome existing limitations.

This book includes updated theoretical considerations which provide an insight into avenues of research most likely to result in further improvements in material performance. It details the latest techniques for the preparation of thermoelectric materials employed in energy harvesting, together with advances in the thermoelectric characterisation of nanoscale material. The book reviews the use of neutron beams to investigate phonons, whose behaviour govern the lattice thermal conductivity and includes a chapter on patents.
