Surface/Thin film interactions

A thin film is a layer of material ranging from fractions of a nanometer (monolayer) to several micrometers in thickness. Electronic semiconductor devices and optical coatings are the main applications benefiting from thin film construction. The performance of optical coatings are typically enhanced when the thin film coating consists of multiple layers having varying thicknesses and refractive indices. It is also being applied to pharmaceuticals, via thin film drug delivery. Thin-films are used to produce thin-film batteries. Thin film application can also be adopted on Dye-sensitized solar cells. Below are examples of application areas where instruments from the Biolin Scientific group can be used.
