In this work, Glancing Angle Deposition technique was used for obtaining nanostructured nickel thin film with vertical posts on glass substrate which was positioned 75 degrees with respect to the substrate normal and rotated with a suitable constant speed. The obtained nickel thin film was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. It was found that the deposited thin film consists of 94.0 at.% of nickel. Magnetic properties of the deposited thin film were determined by Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect Microscopy. According to the obtained coercivity values, it can be concluded that the nickel thin film shows uniaxial magnetic anisotropy.

Zig-zag structure of the nickel thin film has been obtained using Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) technique. Glass substrate was positioned 75 degrees with respect to the substrate normal. The obtained nickel thin film was characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy. Surface energy of the deposited thin film was determined by measuring the contact angle using the static sessile drop method.

Nanostructured tungsten trioxide films were fabricated with the technique of glancing angle deposition (GLAD) in a thermal evaporation chamber with a base pressure of 1.3 × 10−4 Pa. Films were deposited at vapor incidence angles of 0°, 20°, 40°, and 50° with film thickness varying between 160 and 200 nm, as determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry. After deposition, samples were heated for 1 h in air at 400 °C and were subsequently intercalated with small amounts (5 to 15 nm) of lithium by dry lithiation, a technique developed in our laboratory. Compared with our previous work on as-deposited nanostructured films, these samples showed significantly enhanced coloration in the infrared region. It was found that the films exhibited an absorption- based coloration in the lower wavelengths as well as an increased reflection in the infrared region. Morphological investigation by atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed grain agglomeration and increased surface roughness upon heating. Our studies further indicate that grain agglomeration significantly contributes to the superior coloration properties of the films.

Polystyrene as a thin film on arbitrary substrates or pellets form defective graphene/graphitic films or powders that can be dispersed in water and organic solvents. The materials were characterized by visible absorption, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron and atomic force microscopy, and electrochemistry. Raman spectra of these materials showed the presence of the expected 2D, G, and D peaks at 2750, 1590, and 1350 cm−1, respectively. The relative intensity of the G versus the D peak was taken as a quantitative indicator of the density of defects in the G layer.

AbstractA new fully three dimensional (3D) ballistic deposition simulator 3D-FILMS has been developed for the modeling of thin film deposition and structure. The simulator may be implemented using the memory resources available to workstations. In order to illustrate the capabilities of 3D-FILMS, we apply it to the growth of engineered porous thin films produced by the technique of GLancing Angle Deposition (GLAD).
