Non-Lithographic Techniques for Nanostructuring of Thin Films and Bulk Surfaces
Abstract
The development of non-lithographic techniques for realizing nanostructured thin films and bulk surfaces for application in devices is a major area of current interest. In this chapter, the state-of-art in four different techniques, namely template assisted, electric field assisted, laser induced and vapour–liquid–solid techniques is reviewed. It is shown that these techniques have a lot of promise for the fabrication of nanoparticle arrays, nanowires and nanodots and other ‘nano-forms’. The effects, in each case, can be localized by an intelligent ...
