Abstract

In this report we present a brief overview of the growth of nanostructures by the oblique angle deposition where the nanostructures possess both out-of-plane and in-plane preferred orientations or a biaxial texture. The degree of preferred crystal orientations can be quantitatively determined from a method called “RHEED surface pole figure analysis” that we developed recently.
