Thin Film Interfaces Textbook Needed

[Champ Summers]

Summary: TL;DNR Looking for a recently published comprehensive textbook on thin film interfaces

I am in the market for a comprehensive textbook on thin film interfaces that is available for a cheap price. I found Interfaces in Crystalline Materials by A.P. Sutton and R.W. Balluffi but the most recent edition is from 2007, it is an expensive print, and I have no idea how positive it was received after publication.

Also, I am having trouble finding which books are popular on this topic, so to surmise, if anyone knows of a textbook on thin film interfaces that is (1) recently published (2) relatively cheap (3) popular in the field please let me know.

Thank you for your inquiry about a recently published comprehensive textbook on thin film interfaces. As a scientist in this field, I would recommend checking out the book "Thin Film Interfaces" by John L. Vossen and William Kern. It was published in 2019 and has received positive reviews from experts in the field. It is also reasonably priced compared to other textbooks on this topic.

Another option is "Thin Film Materials: Stress, Defect Formation and Surface Evolution" by L. B. Freund and S. Suresh, published in 2019 as well. This book covers a wide range of topics related to thin film interfaces and has been well-received by the scientific community.

I hope this helps in your search for a suitable textbook. Both of these suggestions meet your criteria of being recently published, relatively cheap, and popular in the field. Happy reading!
