Nanostructured Thin Films

Nanostructured Thin Films: Fundamentals and Multifunctional Applications, 1st Edition, provides fundamental theoretical principles and deposition methods for preparing nanoscale thin films. Edited by Mohd Shkir and Kamlesh V. Chandekar, this volume assists academic researchers, materials scientists, and engineers investigating advanced functional material architectures.

The text reviews physical and chemical fabrication routes used to construct thin film architectures at the nanoscale. It systematically addresses structural, optical, spectroscopic, electric, morphological, elastic, mechanical, and magnetic properties, offering concrete context for evaluating how synthesis choices alter material behaviors across clean energy systems, solar cell devices, nanosensors, biomedicine, and on-chip hardware.

Published by Elsevier within the Micro and Nano Technologies series, this 308-page reference text provides industrial researchers and academic faculty with a consolidated resource. It demonstrates how controlled synthesis parameters directly influence functional capabilities across modern energy, sensing, and electronic device platforms.
