Adhesion between Gold and Other Materials

The adhesion between gold (Au) and quartz is poor. For instance, in the fabrication of the charged fibers for off-axis holography measurement, the glass (quartz) wire is coated with a thin layer of Pt-Ir to enhance the adhesion between the quartz filament and the subsequent thicker layer of Au.
