Physical Vapor Deposition at Glancing Angle configuration (PVD-GLAD) is a powerful tool for the fabrication of sculptured thin films. This method allows to tailor the nanostructure by changing the orientation of the substrate with respect to the incoming material flux during deposition, which means that we can design at the nanoscale from the macroscale.[1,2] The resulting films, present the shape of nanocolumns and the gaps between them give rise to a high porosity and specific area. Thanks to this morphology, these films can be also used as templates and hosts of organic and inorganic compounds.[3,4]
GLAD films find applications in a large variety of fields such as electrochemistry, catalysis, sensors, optical devices, photovoltaic cells and magnetism.[5,6]
