“…Also interconnected NW clusters for 3D flexible circuits and magnetic sensing applications have been created, 574 as well as nanosized capacitors made by placing both conducting and insulating material inside a track. 575 Electron field emission was demonstrated from patch arrays of Au NWs in Ref. 579, and emission at currents that were about a factor of 5 higher than expected from a simple calculation based on the aspect ratio and Fowler-Nordheim equation has been shown in Ref.…”

“…[572][573][574][575][576][577][578][579] Heavy ions ͑typical examples are Xe, I, and Au͒ accelerated to energies of the order of 1 MeV/amu or higher, are well known to travel in straight paths deep into materials. If the energy lost to electronic excitations ͑elec-tronic stopping͒ exceeds some material-specific threshold, the ions can produce a nanometer-wide damage track in insulators and semiconductors.…”

A common misconception is that the irradiation of solids with energetic electrons and ions has exclusively detrimental effects on the properties of target materials. In addition to the well-known cases of doping of bulk semiconductors and ion beam nitriding of steels, recent experiments show that irradiation can also have beneficial effects on nanostructured systems. Electron or ion beams may serve as tools to synthesize nanoclusters and nanowires, change their morphology in a controllable manner, and tailor their mechanical, electronic, and even magnetic properties. Harnessing irradiation as a tool for modifying material properties at the nanoscale requires having the full microscopic picture of defect production and annealing in nanotargets. In this article, we review recent progress in the understanding of effects of irradiation on various zero-dimensional and one-dimensional nanoscale systems, such as semiconductor and metal nanoclusters and nanowires, nanotubes, and fullerenes. We also consider the two-dimensional nanosystem graphene due to its similarity with carbon nanotubes. We dwell on both theoretical and experimental results and discuss at length not only the physics behind irradiation effects in nanostructures but also the technical applicability of irradiation for the engineering of nanosystems.

“…This leads to significant changes in structural [7][8][9][10][11] and thermal [12] properties due to radiochemical alterations such as unsaturation, evolution of gases [13], formation of carbon clusters, change in free volume [6], creation of defects and amorphization [6,14] etc. As a result, electron beam irradiation of polymers has shown great potential for the fields such as microelectronics, biomedical, device technology, nano-materials and materials science [15][16][17].…”
