Self-assembled vertically aligned metal–oxide (Ni–CeO2) nanocomposite thin films with novel multifunctionalities have been successfully deposited by a one-step growth method.
This review summarizes the recent progress in self-assembled oxide-metal nanocomposites, their design criteria using the in-plane strain compensation model, functionalities, and the coupling between electrical, magnetic and optical properties
Thermal stability of an ordered three-phase Au–BaTiO3–ZnO vertically aligned nanostructure by both ex situ annealing under air and vacuum conditions, and in situ heating in TEM in vacuum has been demonstrated.
