Whereas in bulk lattice parameters can only be changed by composition or temperature, coherent epitaxial growth of thin films allows adjusting the lattice parameters independently. Up to now only discrete values were accessible by using different buffer layers or substrate materials. As a new tool for an efficient search for optimum parameter we present a continuous variation of lattice parameters of an alloy buffer layer by combinatorial film deposition of a Cu-Au layer on wafer level. These libraries are versatile as they allow tuning functional properties of various types of materials, ranging from (magnetic) shape memory alloys over multiferroics to permanent magnets.
