A device having a plurality of layers comprises a nucleation-inhibiting coating (NIC) disposed on a first layer surface in a first portion of a lateral aspect thereof; and a deposited layer comprised of a deposited material, disposed on a second layer surface, wherein an initial sticking probability against deposition of the deposited layer onto a surface of the NIC in the first portion is substantially less than the initial sticking probability against deposition of the deposited layer onto the second layer surface, such that the NIC is substantially devoid of a closed coating of the deposited material and wherein the NIC comprises a compound containing a rare earth element. The deposited layer can comprise a closed coating on the second layer surface in a second portion of the lateral aspect, and/or a discontinuous layer of at least one particle structure on a surface of the NIC.
