We review past and recent progress in nanoimprint lithography (NIL) methods to (nano-) structure inorganic materials from sol–gel liquid formulations colloidal suspensions onto a surface. This technique, first inspired by embossing techniques, was developed for soft polymer processing, as final or intermediate materials, but is today fully adapted hard with high dielectric constant, such metal oxides, countless chemical compositions provided the chemistry. Consequently, NIL has become...

Abstract Dielectric Mie resonators are taking momentum in the last years thanks to their peculiar properties light management at visible and near‐infrared frequencies. However, full exploitation demands for cheap materials versatile fabrication methods, extendible over large surfaces potentially C‐MOS compatible. Here, a sol–gel deposition nanoimprint lithography method is used obtain titania‐based areas (several square millimeters), showing that this platform can be exploited with different...

Fabrication and scaling of disordered hyperuniform materials remain hampered by the difficulties in controlling spontaneous phenomena leading to this novel kind exotic arrangement objects. Here, we demonstrate a hybrid top-down/bottom-up approach based on sol–gel dip-coating nanoimprint lithography for faithful reproduction metasurfaces metal oxides. Nano- microstructures made silica titania can be directly printed over several cm2 glass silicon substrates. First, describe polymer mold...

Optical technologies and devices rely on the controlled manipulation of light propagation through a medium. This is generally governed by inherent effective refractive index material as well its structure dimensionality. Although precise control over with sub‐wavelength size objects crucial issue for plethora applications, widely used fabrication methods remain cumbersome expensive. Here, sol–gel dip‐coating method combined nanoimprinting lithography arbitrary glass silicon substrates...

Metal oxide (MOX) surface nanopatterns can be prepared using Soft-Nano-Imprint-Lithography (soft-NIL) combined with sol-gel deposition processing. Even if layers remain gel-like straight after deposition, their accurate replication from a mould remains difficult as result of the fast evaporation-induced stiffening that prevents efficient mass transfer underneath soft mould. The present work reports detailed investigation role xerogel layer conditioning (temperature and relative humidity)...

We created a blend between TiO2 sponge with bimodal porosity and Methyl-Ammonium Lead Iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite. The interpenetration of the two materials is effective thanks to peculiar structure. During early stages growth sponge, formation 5-10 nm-large auto-seeds observed which set micro-porosity (<5 nm) layer, maintained during further growth. In second stage, aggregate into hundreds-of-nm-large meso-structures by their mutual shadowing grazing Ti flux for local oxidation. This process...
