A method of the fabricating a metal-nitride vertically aligned nanocomposites is disclosed which includes applying a pulsed laser onto a composite target, the composite target including a two-phase metal-nitride plasmonic nanostructure, depositing adatoms of the composite target onto a substrate, and nucleating metal over the substrate and growing metal and nitride thereover until a predetermined size of vertically aligned metal nitride nanocomposite is achieved including metal nanorods embedded in nitride.

Method of fabricating metal-nitride vertically aligned nanocomposites

A nanohole template is disclosed which includes a substrate and a vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) structure disposed over the substrate. The VAN structure is a metal nitride having circular periodic nanoholes of about 2 nm to about 20 nm in diameter.

Large-scale plasmonic hybrid framework with built-in nanohole arrays as multifunctional optical sensing platforms

A method for making LNO film, including the steps of identifying a substrate, identifying a deposition target, placing the substrate and deposition target in a deposition environment, evolving target material into the deposition environment, and depositing evolved target material onto the substrate to yield an LNO film. The deposition environment defines a temperature of between 500 degrees Celsius and 750 degrees Celsius and a pressure of about 10Torr. A seed or buffer layer may be first deposited onto the substrate, wherein the seed layer is about 30 mole percent gold and about 70 LiNbO.

Nanocomposite-seeded epitaxial growth of single-domain lithium niobate thin films for surface acoustic wave devices

Methods of determining and controlling the deformability of ceramic materials, as a nonlimiting example, YSZ, particularly through the application of a flash sintering process, and to ceramic materials produced by such methods. Such a method includes providing a nanocrystalline powder of a ceramic material, making a compact of the powder, and subjecting the compact to flash sintering by applying an electric field and thermal energy to the compact.
