We present a simple, versatile technique for the fabrication of large, three-dimensional gap photonic crystals using glancing angle deposition (GLAD). A tetragonal lattice suitable for a large photonic band gap (PBG) can be synthesized by a regular array of square spiral structures grown from a simple, prepatterned substrate using physical vapor deposition and advanced substrate motion. Tetrago...

Efficient and rapid adsorption of microperoxidase 11 within a highly porous ITO thin film (200 nm) prepared by glancing angle deposition was achieved. Adsorbed redox molecules were reversibly and rapidly reduced throughout the 3D-conductive matrix in ca. 50 ms, allowing the heterogeneous electron transfer rate to be determined by derivative cyclic voltabsorptometry.

Arrays of Cr zigzag nanosprings and slanted nanorods, 15-55 nm and 40-80-nm-wide, respectively, were grown on SiO2/Si substrates by glancing angle deposition. The arrays exhibit a reversible change in resistivity upon loading and unloading, by 50% for nanosprings and 5% for nanorods, indicating their potential as pressure sensors. The resistivity drop is due to a compression of nanosprings (by ...

Well-aligned b-phase W~100! nanorods having square-base pyramidal apexes were grown on oxidized Si~100! substrate using glancing angle deposition technique with substrate rotation. The field emission characteristics of nanorods were measured using scanning tunneling microscope ~STM! tip as an extraction anode. A highly confined emission current of about 23 mA was obtained at a low extraction vo...
