Effects of Spit Defects in Vapor-Deposited IR Coatings
Circular freckle features were observed in ZnS/Ge multilayer coatings, originating at centralized spit defects. These defects yielded subtle variations in structural morphology, cathodoluminescence, and sputter yield response, and remained largely stable under further environmental testing.
