Surface and Coatings Technology

An International Journal Devoted to the Science and Application of Advanced Surface Treatments for Improvement of Material Properties

Surface and Coatings Technology, published by Elsevier, is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments. This journal is the principal forum for the interchange of information on 1) the science, technology and applications of protective thin films, coatings and surface treatments, and 2) methods to characterize structure, composition, and properties of modified surfaces. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with applied research or direct applications of coatings to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas.

Thin Solid Films

An International Journal Serving Scientists and Engineers Working in the Fields of Thin-film Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications

The field of thin films, which can be defined as the confluence of materials science, surface science, and applied physics, has become an identifiable unified discipline of scientific endeavor. The scope of Thin Solid Films, published by Elsevier, includes, but is not limited to, the following topical subheadings:

• Synthesis and Characterization
• Surfaces, Interfaces, and Colloidal Behavior
• Metallurgical, Protective, and Hard Layers
• Mechanics and Nanomechanics of Thin Layers
• Electronics, Optics, and Opto-electronics
• Magnetics and Magneto-optics
• Superconductivity
• Langmuir—Blodgett, Biological, and Related Films
• Thin Film Devices, Sensors, and Actuators
• Condensed Matter Film Behavior
