These include familiar everyday instances such as anti-reflective coatings on ophthalmic lenses, smartphone optics, photovoltaics, decorative, and tool coatings. A range of somewhat more exotic applications also exists, such as astronomical instrumentation (e.g., ultra-low loss dielectric mirrors and beam splitters in gravitational wave detectors, such as laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory (LIGO)), gas sensing, medical devices and implants, and accelerator coatings (e.g., coatings for the large hadron collider (LHC), and compact linear collider (CLIC) experiments at European organization for nuclear research (CERN)). This Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers working in any area within this highly diverse field to share and exchange their latest research findings. The Special Issue contains novel studies encompassing material characterisation techniques, a range of thin-film coating deposition processes and applications of such technology. 517 $aCurrent Research in Thin Film Deposition 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aadhesion 610 $aaluminum coating 610 $aannealing 610 $aatomic layer deposition 610 $abrittle cracking 610 $acolor center absorption 610 $acrystal frequency 610 $adensity 610 $adiamond coatings 610 $adual functional-metalens 610 $ae-beam physical vapor deposition 610 $aflat film extrusion 610 $afluoropolymer 610 $afocusing 610 $afoil quality 610 $aFourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) 610 $afracture toughness 610 $ainitiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) 610 $ainterfacial fatigue strength 610 $ainternal stress 610 $aliquid phase deposition (LPD) 610 $aMgF2 610 $amicro hollow glass spheres (MHGS) 610 $amicrocantilevers 610 $amilling 610 $aMOCVD 610 $an/a 610 $ananoindentation 610 $ananomechanics 610 $anc-Si:H 610 $anickel-chromium 610 $aoptical emission spectroscopy (OES) 610 $aPECVD 610 $aphysical vapor deposition 610 $aplasma diagnostics 610 $apolarization controlling 610 $aPVD coatings 610 $aQ-factor 610 $aquadruple mass spectrometry (QMS) 610 $aRaman spectroscopy 610 $aresidual stresses 610 $aresonant frequency 610 $aRF-PECVD 610 $ascandium stabilized zirconia thin films 610 $ashear modulus 610 $asolid micro glass spheres (SMGS) 610 $asplitting 610 $astress 610 $asuperhydrophobic 610 $athin film 610 $athin film thermocouples 610 $athin films ceramics 610 $aVI/III ratio 610 $aX-ray diffraction 610 $aX-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) 610 $aYoung's modulus 610 $a?-Ga2O3 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aBirney$b Ross$4edt$01309579 702 $aBirney$b Ross$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557465703321 996 $aCurrent Research in Thin Film Deposition$93029413 997 $aUNINA
