The controlled preparation of materials with sizes smaller than 100 nm in at least one dimension is an up to date challenge in modern material science. Their functionality may exceed beyond knowledge and understanding gathered until today. Nanomaterials continue to spark research in science and engineering and are expected to emerge into wide-spread applications. Porous sculptured thin films (STF) consist of three-dimensional nanostructure components and are one example for nanoengineered materials. The films originate from self organization processes during a highly directional growth mode under an extremely oblique particle flux angle of incidence combined with an appropriate substrate rotation. The growth regime allows for the customized fabrication of anisotropic thin films with different chiral morphologies. Novel material properties caused by the nanostructure morphology are discussed and predicted for new materials design.
