The study of different chiral inorganic nanomaterials has been experiencing rapid growth
during the past decade, with its primary focus on metals and semiconductors. Ceramic …

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 …

A slab made of a dielectric structurally chiral medium (DSCM) strongly reflects the cohanded
circularly polarized plane wave, but not the crosshanded circularly polarized plane wave, in …

Biomimetic nanoengineered metamaterials called chiral sculptured thin films (CSTFs) are
attractive platforms for optical sensing because their porosity, morphology, and optical …

Two thin-film structures comprising chiral sculptured thin films (CSTFs) were fabricated to
exploit the circular Bragg phenomenon (CBP) exhibited by CSTFs for realizing polarization …

Thin films with a low refractive index play an important role in optics, optoelectronics, and
microelectronics. In this study, we present nanostructured porous SiO2 films fabricated by …

In present work, structural, morphological and optical properties of glancing angle deposited
(GLAD~ 82°) ZrO 2 thin films by RF magnetron sputtering at different substrate rotation (ω) …

A highly efficient circularly-polarized-light detector with excellent wavelength selectivity is
demonstrated with an elegant and simple microelectronics-compatible way. The circularly …

A 20-period-thick chiral sculptured thin film (STF) of zinc selenide was fabricated on a glass
