Replication of Ordered Mesostructure on the Surface of 2D Hexagonal Mesoporous Silica Film as Exemplified by the Formation of Striped Cu Nanopatterns
The surface of 2D hexagonal mesoporous silica film has been successfully etched with ammonium fluoride to form an uncovered and well-defined mold surface. The surface can be effectively used to replicate striped Cu nanopatterns with the same mesoscale periodicity by vapor deposition of Cu.
