Session 5: Characterization: Microanalysis of Thin Films and Coatings
Location: Marco A/B (Orlando Airport Marriott)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: This symposium covers methods for coating functional thin films on substrates, novel instrumentation and applications of various analytical techniques for measuring chemical composition, mechanical properties and morphology. It features two invited talks, one on microcharacterization of thin films and coatings and the other on nanometer-scale surface imaging.
