Thirteen chapters by chemists and other scientists describe the core approaches to synthesis and rapid characterization techniques for work with combinatorial materials. It specifically details the science underlying the use of combinatorial materials and thin-film technology, with chapters on the multiple-sample concept, the continuous composition spread approach, ion beam analysis, the mapping of physical properties, temperature-dependent materials research, x- ray techniques, and computational informatics.
