4.0 out of 5 stars
Summarises the field well,
By
This review is from: Pulsed Laser Deposition of Thin Films (Hardcover)
Though this book is now ten years old, its papers should still hold up well. It surveys the then new field of making thin films by using pulses of high intensity laser light. The papers are written by experts in these methods.Nucleation dynamics and how a film can grow under deposition pulses are explained in one chapter. Several chapters also discuss the related subject of laser-induced ablation of surfaces. Studies are summarised of the characteristics of the ablated material. In some ways, ablation can be considered the inverse process to deposition. One attraction of the deposition methods is to apply these in the construction of high temperature superconducting films. Typically, these are complex oxides, of 4 or more elements. The commercial viability of these materials depends in no small part on being able to manufacture them cheaply. The book has a chapter expanding on the praticality of this application.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book on PLD - a must read!,
By Tom Calhoun (Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pulsed Laser Deposition of Thin Films (Hardcover)
Extensive information on pulsed laser deposition that was cutting edge when it was published, much of which remains current and valuable today.

Buy it if you want to understand PLD,
By book reviewer (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pulsed Laser Deposition of Thin Films (Hardcover)
I am a researcher in this field. This book is the bible in this field. It talks about different aspects of PLD and different kinds of materials. Highly recommend to you if you are in this field.
