Аннотация:A review of the methods and results of atomistic modeling of the deposition of thin opticalfilms and a calculation of their characteristics is presented. The simulation of various processes in avacuum chamber, including target sputtering and the formation of film layers, is considered. Methodsfor calculating the structural, mechanical, optical, and electronic properties of thin optical films andfilm-forming materials are discussed. The application of these methods to studying the dependencesof the characteristics of thin optical films on the main deposition parameters is considered. Thesimulation results are compared with experimental data.
