Micro- and nanoporous materials produced using accelerated heavy ion beams

Abstract: This brief overview demonstrates how the ion track-based technology for micro-structuring polymeric materials that has been practised for decades is shifting to the nanometre scale in research and development applications. We present selected results of studies that have focused on the development of new nanoporous materials, especially membranes, performed recently at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR).

“…As a template, we used lab-made ion-track etched polycarbonate membranes with an average pore diameter around 300 nm and length 30 microns (note that commercial membranes are also readily available). The track formation and track etching process is explained in literature [35]. For the synthesis of CoNiB and NiFeB nanotubes a 30 µm-thick polycarbonate (PC) foil (Pokalon from LOFO, High Tech Film GmbH) was irradiated with Au 26+ ions (fluence: 10 7 ions/cm 2 ; kinetic energy of the projectile: 11.4 MeV per nucleon) at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH (Darmstadt).…”

“…Owing to the pronounced chemical transformation of the polymerc lose to the ion trajectories it is possible to selectively etch out the damaged material, causing the formation of channel-shaped pores. [29] If the ion irradiation is applied from different directions, polymer templates can be createdw hich contain networks of crossingc hannels, whose diameter,o rientation, density,and interconnection can be adjusted by changing the irradiation and etching conditions. [27] These pore networks define the structure of the final NT networks.…”

“…However, these templates offer limited geometry dictated by the membrane pores, so one cannot tailor the geometry of the wires. Alternatively, one can fabricate a porous template through ion track etching [59,60], where a porous polycarbonate foil is bombarded with high energy ions and then these tracks are selectively etched in a strong base. However, the drawback with this method is again limited control over the geometry and pore surface roughness.…”
