Carbon ion beam-induced variation in orientation of crystal planes of polycrystalline Zn nanowires

Study of irradiation effect of Xe+22and Kr+14ions on structural properties of Zn nanotubes

“…When nanostructured materials are irradiated with heavy ion beams, additional defects appear in the crystal structure. That can change the properties of nanomaterials both in the negative direction (formation of amorphous regions, partial destruction of the structure) and in the positive direction (annealing of defects arising during synthesis) [23][24][25][26][27]. Control over the processes of directed modification of structural properties is a promising task for research [24][25][26][27][28].…”

In this case, the effective influence of ion izing radiation depends on the type of incident particles and their mean free path in the target material.…”

“…Then it was followed by investigation of properties of metallic nanostructures without removing the polymer matrix. Only separate experimental data [25,26,33] on the influence of lowenergy beams of heavy accelerated ions on the structure and transport properties of Zn nanotubes are given in the literature. This fact motivates us to conduct research in this direction, particularly, to study the effect of irradiation with Kr +14 and Xe +22 ions, with an energy of 1.75 MeV/nucleon on structural properties of Zn nanotubes.…”

Ionizing radiation as a powerful tool for modification of metallic nanostructures

“…Analysis of published data revealed that several comprehensive studies had been performed on the effect of accelerated light and heavy ions on the transport properties of carbon-silica molecular sieves synthesized in channels of track-etched polymer membranes. Results of investigation of Zn [7], Cu [8][9][10], copper oxide selenite [11] and CdSeO 3 [12] nanostructures irradiated with ions of very high energy (on the order of (2.5-4.0) MeV/nucleon) followed by studying the properties of metallic nanostructures without removing the polymer matrix were reported. The effect of low-energy beams of heavy accelerated ions on the structure and transport properties of composite materials based on metal nanostructures and track-etched membranes has not been well experimentally studied [13].…”
