Metal-Insulator Transition and IR Detection of Thin Films Fabricated by Pulsed Laser Deposition
DownloadFall 2018
Current thin film technologies and devices require high quality deposits in order to fully extract the potential of the material. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is one physical vapour deposition method used to synthesize these high quality complex films. PLD offers the distinct advantage of being...
