Thin Film Materials : Stress, Defect Formation and Surface Evolution
Editorial Reviews
Review
Advance praise: 'The book by Freund and Suresh summarizes in a comprehensive manner all aspects of the mechanical behavior of thin films and multilayers: processing, properties, deformation, failure and test methods. 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. I used a preliminary copy of the book in a course I taught on the subject last year, and it was well received by the class.' John W. Hutchinson, Harvard University
'I would heartily recommend this book as an essential read for anyone working in any area of thin film deposition.' Materials World
'Thin Film Materials will prove a valuable resource. It contains a wealth of useful references and good indexes. It is richly illustrated, and there are good exercises after each chapter. For a graduate course in the field, it will be hard to beat. And if the authors are right, there will be a growing demand for such courses.' Times Higher Education Supplement
Book Description
This book provides comprehensive coverage of stress, defect formation and surface evolution in thin films. With its balanced coverage of theory, experiment and simulation and many homework problems, the text will be essential reading in senior undergraduate and graduate courses on thin films.
