Self-assembled Nanocomposite Oxide Films: Design, Fabrication, and Properties

摘要: Nanocomposite metal oxides have been extensively investigated in bulk and thin film forms because of their wide range applications microelectronics, magneto electronics, optoelectronics (Ramesh Spaldin, 2007). Oxide films nanocomposite form are particularly appealing as the interaction or coupling between constituents can lead to enhanced new functionalities (Zheng et al., 2006). Furthermore, oxide could building blocks for assembly nanostructures molecular monolayers (Cheng A currently primary goal is fabricate using a simple low-cost process. Self-assembly has focus much research last four decades. It proved its ability offer rich variety periodic nanoscale patterns an easy way (Guiton Davies, Recent efforts striven bring these two fields together. major challenge control self-assembled create desired nanostructure (Moshnyaga 2003). In film-on-substrate geometry, epitaxial composite be divided into forms: horizontal vertical. These structures reviewed they also specific architectures which show lots potential (Yang 2009). This chapter outlines recent results about material design, fabrication, physical properties nanostructures.
