Preparation of conductive layer on polyimide ion-track membrane by Ar ion implantation
We implanted polyimide (PI) ion-track membranes with 100 keV Ar+ to prepare a cathode for the galvanic deposition of platinum (Pt) nanocones. The surface layer of the irradiated PI films was carbonized to produce a graphitic structure at a fluence of 7.6×

Conical Nanotubes Synthesized by Atomic Layer Deposition of Al2O3, TiO2, and SiO2 in Etched Ion-Track Nanochannels. [PDF]
Etched ion-track polycarbonate membranes with conical nanochannels of aspect ratios of ~3000 are coated with Al2O3, TiO2, and SiO2 thin films of thicknesses between 10 and 20 nm by atomic layer deposition (ALD). By combining ion-track technology and ALD,

Modification of PET Ion-Track Membranes by Silica Nanoparticles for Direct Contact Membrane Distillation of Salt Solutions. [PDF]
The paper describes desalination by membrane distillation (MD) using ion-track membranes. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) ion-track membranes were hydrophobized by the immobilization of hydrophobic vinyl-silica nanoparticles (Si NPs).

Ion Track Formation and Nanopore Etching in Polyimide: Possibilities in the MeV Ion Energy Regime
Polyimide films of thickness 7.5 µm are irradiated by a wide range of ions (1H to 197Au) with energies between 1.05 and 48 MeV. Irradiated samples are then chemically etched in sodium hypochlorite solution to investigate nanopore formation due to ion ...

Synergy of elastic and inelastic energy loss on ion track formation in SrTiO₃. [PDF]
While the interaction of energetic ions with solids is well known to result in inelastic energy loss to electrons and elastic energy loss to atomic nuclei in the solid, the coupled effects of these energy losses on defect production, nanostructure ...

On the threshold for ion track formation in CaF2 [PDF]
There is ongoing debate regarding the mechanism of swift heavy ion track formation in CaF2. The objective of this study is to shed light on this important topic using a range of complimentary experimental techniques. Evidence of the threshold for ion track formation being below 3 keV/nm is provided by both transmission electron microscopy and ...
