“…The advantage of such an arrangement lies in its ability to detect tiny magnetic fields. This effect can be exploited in a range of applications in magnetic data storage and magnetic sensors [20,24,47]. In this connection, a variety of multilayered nanowires including Co/Cu, Fe/Cu, NiFe/Cu have been fabricated by electrodeposition techniques.…”

IntroductionDuring the late 20th century, the growing interest in creating advanced materials using nanoscaled building blocks was employed to develop synthetic techniques for re-engineering existing materials to novel functional materials such as quantum dots, nanodots, nanorods, nanotubes, nanofibrils and quantum wires. These nanowires can act as one-dimensional conductors with interesting electronic and optical properties. Moreover, nanowires may find applications in ultrasensitive chemical and biological sensors.To date, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique followed by lithography is usually considered to represent the ultimate method for producing nanoscaled materials. Although a number of successful efforts have been reported on the fabrication of freestanding nanopillars or nanowells using lithographic techniques, there is a whole range of potential obstacles for these approaches. These arise mainly from the fact that, when the technologies are pushed to smaller sizes, the cost rapidly escalate and the tolerances are more difficult to maintain. The lithographic processes used to pattern nanoelectronic structures also currently limit the dimensions of the electronic components such as nanowires. Optical lithography is limited by the wavelength of the light used to produce the wires. Consequently, the wavelength of light used is moving into the deeper regions of the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, and the cost of fabricating optical components to achieve this is expected to rise at an astronomic rate. These challenges have forced many to seek new nanofabrication techniques, especially those which grow nanostructures directly in the openings of a template. One of the most successful approaches to these nanofabrication methods is known as the membrane-based synthesis of nanomaterials [1][2][3][4], where the membrane acts as a template for the electrodeposition of multilayered nanowires, as well as for single metallic nanowires [5,6]. The advantage of using template synthesis of nanowires is that it can be considered as an alternative solution to overcome the difficulty in fabricating fibrils with very small diameters by lithographic methods [7].

“…Channels with such aspect ratio have been produced in mica. Indeed, previous results 14, 15 show that the combination of swift heavy ions and chemical etching produces tracks in mica foils. In what follows, the production of mica masks with nano‐tracks will be described in detail.…”

“…The damaged material in the track exhibits increased etchability and thus allows the selective removal of this region leading to open nano‐channels. Track etching has been performed in an aqueous solution of 10% hydrofluoric acid at room temperature, which removes the amorphous material induced along the ion tracks and leaves clean crystallographic walls parallel to the {110} planes in the mica lattice 15 (corresponding to oxygen‐terminated planes). Figures 1b and c show, respectively, the surface and the section of a mica foil prepared in the conditions explained above.…”

The fabrication of scalable quantum devices in diamond relies on the ability to produce optical centres with a high spatial resolution. Ion implantation is the most powerful technique for placing impurity atoms in a diamond matrix. Even though shallow optical centres can be produced with a resolution below 20 nm, deep centres may be preferred for generally better overall properties. However, the focusing of ion beams in the MeV range can hardly be achieved below 1 µm. We present here a novel approach by implanting ions through a mask with high‐aspect‐ratio nano‐channels and improve the collimation to below 50 nm. The mask contains parallel oriented channels of a few tens of nanometres in diameter. They are produced by exposing mica sheets to GeV heavy ion projectiles and subsequent track etching. We demonstrate the high‐resolution creation of deep nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centres in diamond by implanting nitrogen ions through the nano‐channels. Transmission rates and energy distribution of the nitrogen ions transmitted through the nano‐channels were also analysed.

“…In addition to this, SHIs have been extensively used in lithographic techniques, especially in designing the nanostructures on the substrate materials (14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Mica-based materials offer both layered and nanoporous templates for interesting fabrications (19)(20)(21). Being cheap and abundant, mica has been widely studied under the influence of SHI irradiation (22)(23)(24)(25).…”

Naturally occurring mica schist and coal sedimentary sequence in Sikkimese Himalaya were collected and investigated by two micro-techniques: scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy. They were applied to identify the constituents and the structure of the minerals before and after swift heavy ion irradiation. Vibrational data and the constituents of abundantly found mica schist and coal-based rock were acquired at room temperature and were compared with those reported for their analogues in the previous reports.
