  • AMORPHOUS MULTI-COMPONENT METAL/METAL OXIDE NANOLAMINATE METAMATERIALS AND DEVICES BASED THEREON
    Publication number: 20140302310
    Abstract: Nanolaminates comprised of alternating layers of amorphous, multi-component metallic films (AMMFs) and metal oxide films are disclosed as metamaterials whose physical properties can be engineered to customize the resulting electrical, average dielectric, and thermal properties. In certain configurations using AMMFs, the construct may be an optical or an electronic element, such a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diode, for example.
