Abstract:The structural and wetting properties of as‐deposited, annealed, and UV‐exposed TiO2‐slanted nanorods grown on different substrates have been studied. The slanted nanorods of 250 nm thickness are deposited on silicon, fluorine‐doped tin oxide, and glass at 80° using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) by employing e‐beam evaporation. The structural evolution shows that the prior seeding on the substrate affects the morphology dramatically, while a different angle of deposition can tune a plane substrate for excit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
