• . In this respect, the use of glancing angle deposition (GLAD) to produce high-aspect-ratio nanostructures has certain advantages in terms of a wide range of structural possibilities (such as screws and helical or columnar structures) and reduced complexity (no templates involved) [26]. In addition

• strength (at racetrack) using vanadium [30] and titanium [31] targets, respectively. Thus, utilizing HiPIMS for the deposition of ferromagnetic material can be very beneficial. Oblique deposition, sometimes referred to as glancing angle deposition (GLAD), is known as a PVD technique that leads to a film

• glancing-angle deposition (GLAD) has been explored for the fabrication of vertical nanorods on planar substrates [38]. A special class of nanostructured surfaces are semicontinuous silver films (SSFs) [39][40] also known as metal island films [41], which are comprised of random fractal-type structures

Plasma polymer NPs may be useful for this purpose as well, especially if glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is considered. Evaporative

By employing glancing angle deposition (GLAD), nanostructured coatings can be produced onto flat substrates, taking advantage of atomic shadowing effects. Although
