The force-displacement profiles of four well-characterized materials that represent both soft/hard and plastic/brittle materials have been obtained using a novel nanoindentation technique. Flat surfaces of acetaminophen, potassium chloride, sucrose, and sodium stearate were prepared by melting or re

An overview of ion and plasma assisted techniques for optical thin films is given. The individual deposition methods are described and their specific advantages and drawbacks with respect to optical thin film deposition presented. It is shown that ion and plasma assistance can have also unwelcome si
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polymer with technologically important applications, especially as a biomaterial. Several biomedical applications (such as tissue engineering, spatial patterning of cells, anti-biofouling and biocompatible coatings) require the application of high quality PEG thin film
## Experimental Cd thin films were obtained by thermal evaporation under vacuum of metallic cadmium pellets of 99.99% purity at evaporation source temperature of about 770 K. The residual pressure in
