Abstract
Thin films are generally used to improve the surface properties of solids. Transmission, reflection, absorption, hardness, abrasion resistance, corrosion, permeation and electrical behaviour are only some of the properties of a bulk material surface that can be improved by using a thin film. Nanotechnology also is based on thin film technology.
