Characterization and properties of micro- and nanowires of controlled size, composition, and geometry fabricated by electrodeposition and ion-track technology

Abstract

SummaryThe combination of electrodeposition and polymeric templates created by heavy-ion irradiation followed by chemical track etching provides a large variety of poly- and single-crystalline nanowires of controlled size, geometry, composition, and surface morphology. Recent results obtained by our group on the fabrication, characterization and size-dependent properties of nanowires synthesized by this technique are reviewed, including investigations on electrical resistivity, surface plasmon resonances, and thermal instability.

Rectification properties of conically shaped nanopores: consequences of miniaturization

“…This is very important since non-destructive ways of pore imaging are limited. The geometry of polymer nanopores is usually studied by preparing their metal-replica [54][55][56] . This approach can not reveal the structure of the narrow tip and works best for pores that are at least several tens of nanometers in diameter.…”

Porous Polymer Membranes by Hard Templating – A Review

“…[68] As the ions are produced in an accelerator, specific targeting is possible. [69] Straight pores can be produced at a precise pore size. Further, it has been shown that the opened pore mouth allows hierarchical pore structure by single sided chemical edging.…”

Структура И Физические Свойства Железных Нанотрубок, Полученных Методом Темплатного Синтеза

“…2, b) подтверждает, что величины внешних диаметров железных нанотрубок составляют 110 nm вдоль всей длины с незначительными отклонениями. Поверхность наноструктур шероховатая, что является следствием использования пористых пле-нок ПТЭФ как шаблонов для роста наноструктур [28].
