Atomic layer deposition Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a self-limiting, sequential surface chemistry that deposits conformal thin-films of materials onto substrates of varying compositions. ALD is similar in chemistry to chemical vapor deposition (CVD), except that the ALD reaction breaks the CVD reaction into two half-reactions, keeping the precursor materials separate during the reaction.

Atomic line filter An atomic line filter (ALF) is an advanced optical band-pass filter used in the physical sciences for filtering electromagnetic radiation with precision, accuracy, and minimal signal strength loss. Atomic line filters work via the absorption or resonance lines of atomic vapors and so may also be designated an atomic resonance filter (ARF).
Atomic mass The atomic mass of a chemical element is the mass of an atom at rest, most often expressed in unified atomic mass units. The atomic mass is often synonymous with relative atomic mass, average atomic mass and atomic weight; however, it is subtly different in that it can either be the abundance-weighted average of isotope masses of an element or the mass of a single isotope.
Atomic mass unit The unified atomic mass unit (u), or Dalton (Da), is a small unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular masses. It is defined to be one twelfth of the mass of an unbound atom of the carbon-12 nuclide, at rest and in its ground state.
