The April 1998 symposium produced these 74 papers which consider the material science of thin films, coatings, and surface treatments, including how they affect the performance of bulk materials. Papers are organized into sections on theory and technique, deformation, thin films and multilayers, polymers, adhesion and fracture, and friction and wear. Specific topics include Annealing effects on nanoscratch behavior of CaF2 thin films growth on Si(111), the dependence of indentation cracking in silicon on indentation ...

The April 1998 symposium produced these 74 papers which consider the material science of thin films, coatings, and surface treatments, including how they affect the performance of bulk materials. Papers are organized into sections on theory and technique, deformation, thin films and multilayers, polymers, adhesion and fracture, and friction and wear. Specific topics include Annealing effects on nanoscratch behavior of CaF2 thin films growth on Si(111), the dependence of indentation cracking in silicon on indentation spacing and relative orientation, and the nature of nanometer-thick lubricating films.
