Nanostructures through Dynamic Shadowing Growth

Nanostructures can be designed through computer programming the deposition configurations by dynamic shadowing growth. This book introduces the basic physical principles and experimental setups for dynamic shadowing growth, and illustrates different ways to controlled-design different nanostructures. A comprehensive survey on current applications with these unique nanostructures has been conducted and summarized in the book. Some of the key applications such as optical coating, photonic device, energy application, catalysts, and biological applications, are emphasized.This book ranges from the fundamentals to the latest application information, providing the reader with a complete picture necessary for entering the field quickly and understanding the full scope of the field. It should inspire creativity in the reader's thinking and research.
