Nano Plating - Microstructure Formation Theory of Plated Films and a Database of Plated Films
By: Professor Tohru Watanabe, Department of Applied Chemistry, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
ISBN 0080443753, $/€195

Newly published March 2004 this book contains a comprehensive database for the microstructure of plated films. It is very logically structured with very detailed contents, which makes finding information easy, making it an excellent overview of the research and development in this field.
This book will introduce a concept of a "Microstructure Control Theory" for plated films, describe and discuss various experimental results that support the theory, and finally, present a collection of experimental data on 53 types of plated metal/alloy systems with a special emphasis on their microstructure.
