Abstract

Results of targeted modification of the structure and properties of ordered arrays of zinc nanotubes (Zn NTs) by accelerated Xe+22 heavy ions with a fluence of 1 × 109 to 5 × 1011 cm–2 in the energy range of 1.0–1.75 MeV/nucleon are reported. Dynamics of changes in the crystallite shape and orientation of Zn NTs before and after irradiation has been studied by X-ray diffraction. It has been shown that irradiation with accelerated ions has a significant effect on the texture coefficients of Zn NTs. In addition, at a fluence of 1 × 1011 m–2 or higher, the formation of loose areas in the structure of Zn NTs as a result of partial degradation of the crystal structure and, consequently, a decline in conductivity are observed.
