TLDR
In this article, the effect of adsorbate gases on the nucleation and growth characteristics of gold thin films on glass surfaces was studied using resistance measurements and electron microscopy techniques, and it was found that the adsorption of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen on the glass substrates after glow discharge cleaning was found to influence the island structure and coalescence of discontinuous gold films.About:

Handbook of physical vapor deposition (PVD) processing
TL;DR: Physical vapor deposition (PVD) process technology from the characterizing and preparing the substrate material, through deposition processing and film characterization, to post-deposition processing is discussed in this paper.

Transparent conductive electrodes for electrochromic devices: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the optical and electrical properties of thin films that are useful as transparent electrodes in electrochromic devices are discussed, and the properties of certain heavily doped widebandgap semiconductor oxides (especially In2O3:Sn) and of metal films are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thin film metallization of oxides in microelectronics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the factors affecting adhesion and showed that the structure of the interfacial region is probably a controlling factor in film adhesion, and the adhesion stability of a metallization system may be determined by processing and service requirements.

Spontaneous crystal coalescence enables highly efficient perovskite solar cells
Bart Roose,Amita Ummadisingu,Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena,Michael Saliba,Anders Hagfeldt,Michael Graetzel,Ullrich Steiner,Antonio Abate +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that smaller crystallites within perovskite films spontaneously coalesce into larger ones, even when complete devices are stored in the dark at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thin film solid electrolyte systems
TL;DR: In this article, a review of materials potentially useful for thin-film electrochemical cells is presented, and some general comments concerning physical properties and the growth of thin films are presented as an introduction.

Nucleation and Initial-Growth Behavior of Thin-Film Deposits
B. Lewis,D. S. Campbell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the capture of single atoms can be related to catchment areas associated with stable and critical nuclei, and that for the materials and conditions used in evaporation work the smallest stable cluster is normally a pair.
