Exploitation of atomic layer deposition for nanostructured materials

In making and modifying nanomaterials conformality is a prerequisite for the thin film deposition method. From its principle ALD is an ideal method for coating nanomaterials. In this paper the use of ALD for making nanostructured materials is exemplified by many ways: making of nanolaminates, deposition of thin films inside nanopores, as well as coating of nanofibers and nanorods. The materials deposited by ALD are mostly oxides, nitrides and metals.
