Photoinduced doughnut-shaped nanostructures

Abstract: We show that an incoherent unpolarized single-beam illumination is able to photoinduce nano-doughnuts on the surface of azopolymer thin films. We demonstrate that individual doughnut-shaped nano-objects as well as clusters of several adjacent nano-doughnuts can be formed and tailored with wide range of typical sizes, thus providing a rich field for applications in nanophotonics and photochemistry.

“…If azomaterials properties are coupled with other fabrication techniques, micro/nano structures of different shape and size can be realized [11,134,135] e.g. parallel groves [32,107,112,136], array of microporous [137][138][139][140][141] and hemispherical caps [142,143], whose geometry can be successively modified. Indeed, this technique allows to produce very sophisticated micro/nanoarchitecture that would be difficult to attain with other methods [12,107,144,145].…”

“…Incoherent light can indifferently propel the photo-patterning process, in comparison with a laser illumination. Using this technique, it is possible to modify the holes and their surrounding areas formed on the surface evenly and to induce a polymer growth due to a mass transport [21].…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Such problems occur also in many other analytical measurement techniques. 6,7 Some efforts are undertaken, involving the modification of electrode, measurement procedure, chemical experimental conditions (e.g. composition of the electrolyte or pH), which goal is optimization of the experiment.…”
