This Colloquium presents an overview of the research on nonlinear electromagnetic
metamaterials. The developed theoretical approaches and experimental designs are …

The present paper reports the detailed study of various metal oxide nanomaterials as opto-
electronic humidity sensor. The sensor elements were fabricated and characterized as thin …

By relying on an advanced Jones calculus, we analyze the polarization properties of light
upon propagation through metamaterial slabs in a comprehensive manner. Based on …

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 …

We report experimental evidence that electromagnetic coupling between physically
separated planar metal patterns located in parallel planes provides for extremely strong …

Sculptured thin films (STFs) are a class of nanoengineered materials with properties that can
be designed and realized in a controllable manner using physical vapor deposition. This text …

We deposited graded-index SiO_2 films using glancing angle deposition to produce high-
transmission antireflection coatings on glass. Because of the accurate control over the thin …

Polaritonic chemistry is an interdisciplinary emerging field that presents several challenges
and opportunities in chemistry, physics, and engineering. A systematic review of polaritonic …

Exhibited by structurally chiral materials—such as Reusch piles, cholesteric liquid crystals
(CLCs), and chiral sculptured thin films (STFs)—due to their helical nonhomogeneity along a …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on experimental aspects of the Glancing angle
deposition (GLAD) technique–its methods and possibilities. It introduces the basic theory …
