The current status of the science and technology related to coatings, thin films and surface modifications produced by directed energy techniques is assessed in this book. The subject matter is divided into 20 chapters - each presented at a tutorial level - rich with fundamental science and experimental results. New trends and new results are also evoked to give an overview of future developments and applications.
