Order within disorder: The atomic structure of ion-beam sputtered amorphous tantala (a-Ta2O5)

Amorphous tantala (a-Ta2O5) is a technologically important material often used in high-performance coatings. Understanding this material at the atomic level provides a way to further improve performance. This work details extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements of a-Ta2O5 coatings, whe...
