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 …

Transparent conductors (TCs) have a multitude of applications for solar energy utilization
and for energy savings, especially in buildings. The largest of these applications, in terms of …

Physical vapor deposition under conditions of obliquely incident flux and limited adatom
diffusion results in a film with a columnar microstructure. These columns will be oriented …

In this paper, we designed, simulated and analyzed high efficiency of SnS-based solar cells.
This work is related to the influence of a glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique for …

Solid-state light sources are in the process of profoundly changing the way humans
generate light for general lighting applications. Solid-state light sources possess two highly …

The present state of research on the structure of amorphous silicon monoxide (SiO) is
reviewed. The black, coal-like modification of bulk SiO is studied by a combination of …

Sculptured thin films (STFs) are a new class of engineered columnar thin films in which their
shapes can resemble oblique matchsticks, chevrons, multiple zigzags, S's, C's, helices, and …

The helix has remarkable qualities and is prevalent in many fields including mathematics,
physics, chemistry, and biology. This shape, which is chiral by nature, is ubiquitous in …

Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a physical vapour deposition method used to fabricate
highly functional thin films with an engineerable columnar morphology. Recent …

In this work, the NO2-sensing properties of the tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanorods prepared
by dc magnetron sputtering with glancing-angle deposition (GLAD) technique are …
