484 Pages Indexed. Green boards with one inch piece torn from spine during attempt to remove a label. No other marks or stamps to this otherwise As New book. Interior text pages on archive quality paper are flawless. The subject matter of this book includes a wealth of information for physicists, chemists and engineers who need to know more about thin films for research purposes, or who want to use this special form of solid material to achieve a variety of application-oriented goals. This particular publication is exceptional because the author makes available his extensive theoretical and practical experience which has been acquired over more than 20 years of intensive work on thin films. He has been concerned with all details that have an influence on the final product and can thus describe with great thoroughness the properties of all glass-type substrates, dealing also with very difficult questions concerning surface physics. Glass can be produced by a variety of methods. The manufacturing process and the chemical composition determine how resistant a particular glass is to its environment. There are also different processes for finishing the surface of glass and this, together with the two aforementioned factors, determines the surface characteristics. Apart from inorganic glass also organic glass and plastic materials are considered. Today there are two preferred groups of methods for the production of thin films: Chemical vapour deposition and physical vapour deposition under vacuum; the three major technologies of the latter being sputtering, evaporation, and ion plating. These are discussed in detail. The author's wide experience allows him to give many valuable tips in the discussion of how to produce a vacuum with a desired residual gas atmosphere using appropriate vacuum techniques. He has also studied mechanical and optical film properties as well as film thickness measurement methods, and this too is included in the book. Information on calculation methods which allow complex film systems to be developed is also given. Precise calculations and extremely accurate measurements are the basis for the production of thin films in computer controlled coating systems. Applications of thin films are also given an important place in the book. The company in which the author works is world famous for its thin film products. In summary, this work could be called a sort of formulary on the subject of glass and thin films written by a scientist for scientists and technical people. It goes beyond the subject matter indicated by the title, filling in the gap which has existed until now in the available technical literature. Contents in Nine Chapters: Introduction and History, Composition Structure and Properties of Inorganic and Organic Glasses, Nature of a Surface, Cleaning of Substrate Surfaces, Glass and Thin Films, Film Formation Methods, FilmThickness, Properties of Thin Films, and Aplication of Coatings on Glass.…

Review
Glass Technology
This is an important review and compendium covering the wide ranging techniques available for the production, evaluation as well as the design of all types of thin films on glass surfaces. It includes a wealth of information based on the author's extensive experience and personal involvement with this field... It is evident that the subject covers a wide range of interests not limited to the physics and chemistry of thin films, but including many branches of technology. A detailed survey of the literature would not only have to be extremely extensive, but scattered through a variety of journals (and books) in many disciplines. Books such as this are therefore of particular importance not only to the newcomers to the field, but also to those with more specialist interest.
