The book explores the emerging field of thin film physics, a distinct branch of study focusing on systems with one significantly small dimension. It highlights how traditional methods of investigating physical properties, typically applied to three-dimensional bodies, become inadequate when surface-to-volume ratios increase dramatically. This shift in focus underscores the complexity and diversity within the broader discipline of physics, which has evolved into various specialized branches over the past century.
