NMP-2004-3.4.2.2-3 - Multifunctional ceramic thin films with radically new properties

Thin films have become a major research area, with applications in sectors such as electronics, optical and magnetic devices, protection coatings, electrochemistry or catalysis. Functionally-graded or multi-component, nanostructured films allow further flexibility in the tailoring of properties.
The expected STREPs should focus on new multifunctional ceramic thin films (nitrides, carbides, oxides, etc) which provide components with radically new electronic, optical or magnetic properties for novel industrial applications.
