Thin solid films

The proceedings contains 117 papers from the conference on Thin Solid Films. The topics discussed include: Achieving narrow bandpass filters which meet the requirements of DWDM; zinc sulfide thin films produced by sulfidation of sol-gel deposited zinc oxide; growth of ZnO thin films and whisker; infrared transparent spinel films with p-type conductivity; innovative and cost-effective synthesis of indium tin oxide films; optically active coatings deposited from an ultrasonically generated aerosol; metal-containing amorphous carbon films for hydrophobic application and structure and mechanical properties of argon assisted carbon nitride films.
