Advanced methods in Glancing Angle Deposition to control thin film morphology, microstructure and texture
DownloadSpring 2014
Structuring of material on the nanoscale is enabling new functional materials and improving existing technologies. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a physical vapor deposition technique that enables thin film fabrication with engineered columnar structures on the (10 to 100) nm scales. In this...

Comparative analysis, modeling and simulation of Nanocrystal synthesis by Physical Vapor Deposition methods
DownloadFall 2011
Nanotechnology is rapidly becoming one of the most influential frontiers of technology. Nanocrystal (NC) synthesis is potentially one of the central processes in nanoelectronics due to its ability to improve performance of electronics devices. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is one of the most...
