Abstract

Novel phases of functional inorganic chemical systems can be efficiently explored using high-throughput thin-film fabrication techniques coupled with rapid characterization schemes. High-throughput investigation of thin-film materials has already led to the discovery of new dielectric and magnetic materials. In this article, we review various high-throughput thin-film synthesis/evaluation techniques and discuss examples of exciting discoveries and new applications of combinatorial techniques.
