1) Examine a particular thin film system in some depth -review the literature.
- Ag deposited on GaAs
- Al deposited on Si
- Fe/Cr/Fe multilayer structures
2) Examine a particular application of thin film technology. Optical coatings (UVblock, anti---reflection, reflective...)
- Friction and wear coatings
- Quantum well structures
- Photovoltaic devices
- Giant magneto resistance devices for magnetic recording heads
