BN films consisting of c-BN and h-BN phases were synthesized using an ion-beam-assisted deposition process. In contrast to conventional observations, the c-BN and h-BN phases did not form separate layers, but were distributed in the form of nano-sized grains throughout the film thickness. No distinctly aligned h-BN layer was observed before the c-BN phase. Such a mixed character of the film was attributed to a localized ion bombardment effect instead of the macro-stress. Possibly because of the presence of scattered h-BN phases, the thin film described here possessed a low hardness of about 20 GPa and a low stress of about 5 GPa, compared with other reported c-BN-containing films.

Abstract This paper presents the optimization for obtaining ultra-high aspect ratio nanostructures by GLancing Angle Deposition (GLAD). GLAD is a bottom-up, physical deposition process for creating nanometer-level features by shadows cast by seeds on the substrate at high incident angles. Based on the seeds used, GLAD can be categorized into two types: GLAD with natural seeds and pre-defined seeds (pre-seeds). When natural seeds are used, the seeds are randomly distributed with sub-100 nm feature sizes, and the percent coverage of the substrate is determined simply by the incident angle of the vapor. When the pre-seeds are used, the features can be redistributed and regrouped to generate new periodic nanostructures. This paper discusses how to obtain ultra-high aspect ratio nanopillars from natural seeds and nanoribbons from pre-defined line seeds by GLAD. In the discussion on GLAD with natural seeds, a study on the dependence of the aspect ratio on the incident angle is provided; resolvable nanopillars are obtained with aspect ratio over 1:20, and the growth mechanism is proposed for pillars with high deposition angles. Next, line seeds used in the GLAD process for creating high aspect ratio nanoribbons are discussed. Proper design and process parameters are discussed for controlling the morphologies of the nanoribbons. The ultra-high aspect ratio nanostructures are potentially used for applications including sensing, surface property alteration, and the creation of nanoporous structures.

With increasing technological demand for portable electronic and photovoltaic devices, it has become critical to ensure the electrical and mechano-electric reliability of electrodes in such devices. However, the limited flexibility and high processing costs of traditional electrodes based on indium tin oxide undermine their application in flexible devices. Among various alternative materials for flexible electrodes, such as metallic/carbon nanowires or meshes, silver nanowire (Ag NW) networks are regarded as promising candidates owing to their excellent electrical, optical, and mechano-electric properties. In this context, there have been tremendous studies on the physico-chemical and mechano-electric properties of Ag NW networks. At the same time, it has been a crucial job to maximize the device performance (or their mechano-electric performance) by reconciliation of various properties. This review discusses the properties and device applications of Ag NW networks under dynamic motion by focusing on notable findings and cases in the recent literature. Initially, we introduce the fabrication (deposition process) of Ag NW network-based electrodes from solution-based coating processes (drop casting, spray coating, spin coating, etc.) to commercial processes (slot-die and roll-to-roll coating). We also discuss the electrical/optical properties of Ag NW networks, which are governed by percolation, and their electrical contacts. Second, the mechano-electric properties of Ag NW networks are reviewed by describing individual and combined properties of NW networks with dynamic motion under cyclic loading. The improved mechano-electric properties of Ag NW network-based flexible electrodes are also discussed by presenting various approaches, including post-treatment and hybridization. Third, various Ag NW-based flexible devices (electronic and optoelectronic devices) are introduced by discussing their operation principles, performance, and challenges. Finally, we offer remarks on the challenges facing the current studies and discuss the direction of research in this field, as well as forthcoming issues to be overcome to achieve integration into commercial devices.
