Abstract:Columnar thin films are assemblies of parallel straight columns of nanoscale cross-sectional dimensions grown by physical vapor deposition on appropriate substrates. Sculptured thin films are similar, but the columnar shape is architected for specific objectives. Polarization-universal bandgaps with maximum transmittance under 20% were realized as sculptured thin films of two different types: (i) tightly interlaced matched ambidextrous bilayers (TIMABs) to modify the circular Bragg phenomenon and (ii) equichir… Show more
