Short description
Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) has emerged as one of the most popular techniques for depositing some of the most exciting materials being explored for next generation applications. PLD is no longer viewed as an experimental curiosity, but instead it has grown to be a research and development tool in the most wide-ranging of fields. Pulsed Laser Deposition of Thin Films is the first book to date to summarize the wide range of different PLD applications currently emerging.
