Photolithographic patterning of organic materials and plasma-based transfer of photoresist
patterns into other materials have been remarkably successful in enabling the production of …

In the realm of ever increasing importance of nanotechnology, the deposition of ultrathin
metal/alloy layers with perfect structure and unique functionality becomes an objective of …

Materials that generate electrical signals upon exposure to a well-controlled stimuli are high
desirable. In that context, magnetoelectrics are unusual in the sense that the stimulus may …

Extensive experiments over the decades unequivocally point to a pronounced scale-
dependency of plastic deformation in metals. This observation is fairly general, and broadly …

Two groups of transparent conductive ZnO/Ag/ZnO, ZAZ, multilayer coatings were
successively deposited by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. Sputtering was carried …

We utilize classical Mie scattering theory to investigate the effects of tensile and compressive
mechanical strain on both the far field (absorption, scattering and extinction efficiencies) and …

ZnS films were prepared with different thicknesses by electron beam evaporation on glass
substrates. The films were annealed in air atmosphere at different annealing temperatures …

We demonstrate that GaN can selectively grow by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
into the pores and laterally over the nanoscale patterned SiO 2 mask on a template of …

Both quantitative and qualitative knowledge of strain and strain distributions in quantum dots
are essential for the determination and tailoring of their optoelectronic properties. Typically …

Dense, crystalline arrays of InGaN nanorings, nanodots, and nanoarrows have been
fabricated on GaN substrates by template-assisted nano-area selective growth. To create …
