Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coatings (ISSN 2079-6412, IF 2.581) is currently running a special issue entitles “Surface Modification of Thin Films: For Optical, Electrical and Sensing Applications”. I am serving as the guest editor for this topic.
I take great pleasure in announcing that this issue is open for submission. I am writing to cordially invite you to submit a paper to this issue in recognition of your work and recent publication track record in the field of thin films.
This special issue will explore the most promising techniques and materials that focus on surface functionalization, to integrate different properties towards multifunctionality. A multi-disciplinary approach is intrinsic in the research fields starting from base knowledge of materials to chemical and/or physical interactions at the interfaces, characterization tools to study such properties, and their reliability for the final application.
In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to
- Thin film
- Physical vapor deposition
- Chemical gas sensing
- Bandgap
- Hall-effect measurements
