The oblique angle configuration has emerged as an invaluable tool for the deposition of
nanostructured thin films. This review develops an up to date description of its principles …

Both the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and the increased biofilm-associated infections
are boosting the demand for new advanced and more effective treatment for such infections …

Maximizing the electrochromic response of tungsten oxide-based systems demands highly
porous electrode layers that facilitate the incorporation of electrolyte cations during the …

Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on orthopedic implants is one of the worst
scenarios in orthopedic surgery, in terms of both patient prognosis and healthcare costs …

The growth of Ti thin films by the magnetron sputtering technique at oblique angles and at
room temperature is analysed from both experimental and theoretical points of view. Unlike …

Herein, the tungsten trioxide (WO 3) nanostructure thin films with different morphologies are
firstly fabricated by magnetron sputtering with glancing angle deposition technique (MS …

The use of metallic nanostructures in the fabrication of bioelectrodes (eg, neural implants) is
gaining attention nowadays. Nanostructures provide increased surface area that might …

Nanoporous gold (NPG) films have both propagating and localized surface plasmon
resonance (PSPR and LSPR) effects, and their routine applications for surface-enhanced …

We demonstrate glancing-angle deposition of gold on a nanostructured diblock copolymer,
namely polystyrene-block-poly (methyl methacrylate) thin film. Exploiting the selective …

The growth of nanostructured physical vapor deposited thin films at oblique angles is
becoming a hot topic for the development of a large variety of applications. Up to now …
