Abstract | This Letter presents a low-cost, high-throughput strategy for fabricating size-tunable hierarchical CrN nanohole arrays for a nanomould using a magnetron sputtering approach with nanosphere lithography (NIL)-based technology. The size of the polystyrene nanospheres has a direct influence on the diameter and period of the CrN nanohole structure. The reactive ion etching and magnetron sputtering process can easily control the nanohole size and depth. The hole depth generally depends on the film thickness. The contact angles were measured by the sessile drop method using distilled water, ethylene glycol and diiodomethane. The surface-free energy of the CrN nanomould was calculated using the Owens–Wendt geometric mean approach. This Letter reports the successful fabrication of a series of nanoholes with diameters decreased from 347 ± 9.6 to approximately 166 ± 11.8 nm with a depth of 100 ± 5.6 nm. The corresponding surface-free energy decreased from 40.83 to approximately 24.58 mN/m. The diameter of nanoholes has an obvious effect on the surface-free energy and there is tendency for the surface-free energy to decrease with the decrease in the diameter of the nanoholes. This new approach of ordered CrN nanohole array structures can be used to create a two-dimensional nanomould for NIL. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
