Nanostructures and Nanofilms

When describing nanostructures, it's important to distinguish between the number of nanoscale dimensions in an object's volume. Nanofilms are very thin layers of material with thickness ranging from a fraction of a nanometer to several micrometres. They act as an atomic-thick barrier between the outside world and the vast majority of physicochemical processes. To make nanostructured films, magnetron sputtering from a suitable target material is commonly used. Films can be built up of simple materials, such as those produced by sputtering from a pure metal target like copper, or they can be made up of more complex elements.
