Surface relief grating formation on nano-objects

We exploit the photoinduced migration effect in azopolymer thin films to induce surface relief patterning of nano-objects. Manipulation and precise control of the molecular order is achieved at the nanoscale. Interaction between a laser beam from an argon laser and the azopolymer nano-objects induce...

Description
Summary:We exploit the photoinduced migration effect in azopolymer thin films to induce surface relief patterning of nano-objects. Manipulation and precise control of the molecular order is achieved at the nanoscale. Interaction between a laser beam from an argon laser and the azopolymer nano-objects induces structures on the surface. The self-patterning process is observed to depend on the laser beam polarization.
