Nanostructured thin-film

Thin film nanostructures of the III-VI compound In2Se3 were obtained inside the pores (200 nm) of commercial polycarbonate membrane by automated ECALE methodology at room temperature [157], Buffered solutions with millimolar concentrations of In2(S04)3 (pH 3.0) and Se02 (pH 5.5) were used. The atomic ratio of Se/In in the deposited films was found to be 3/2. Band gaps from FTIR reflection absorption measurements were found to be 1.73 eV. AFM imaging showed that the deposits consist of 100 nm crystallites.

Because of this, and for obvious economic reasons, there is a continual search for means of lowering the operating temperatures of these cells, from the current temperature regime towards 650°C or lower. This has led to iimovations in thin film, nanostructured and nanotubular cathode design.

Blockcopolymer microphase separation [9] Depending on the length of chemically different blocks of monomers in a block copolymer, ordered nanostructures can be obtained in bulk samples and thin films. The film morphology can differ significantly from the bulk morphology, but because the structure is determined by the pair-pair interaction of monomers and/or an interface, and it is a thermodynamically stable structure, it is classified as self-assembly.

Starting with Volume 30, the title of the series. Thin Films, is being changed to Thin Films and Nanostructures. We feel that this new title reflects more accurately the rapidly growing inclusion of research and development efforts on nanostructures, especially in relation to novel solid-state device formats.

Perfection of Structure in Nanostructured Materials. An aim of modern nanotechnology is the fabrication of materials with highly perfect structure on the nanometer scale. The distortion of such nanostructured materials can be studied by SAXS methods. Frequently the material is supplied as a very thin film with predominantly uniaxial correlation among the nanodomains. Under these constraints the nanodomains are frequently arranged in such a way that the normal to the film is a symmetry axis rotation of the film on the sample table does not change the scattering (fiber symmetry).
