The Editor-in-Chief of Thin Solid Films, Professor Joe Greene, periodically invites leading scientists to write an Invited Critical Review article for this journal. These review papers are aimed at a broad audience consisting of physicists, chemists, engineers, and industrial scientists from a wide range of backgrounds. In 2014 Thin Solid Films published five such articles and these articles have now been made freely available for you to read online.
