This paper presents a case study of targeted modification of the structure and properties of zinc nanotubes ordered arrays by treatment with Xe +22 and Kr +17 swift heavy ions (SHI). Polyethylene terephthalate track-etched membranes (PET TeMs) with a pore density of (4 × 10 9 ) ions/cm 2 have been used as a template for electrochemical deposition of Zn. Scanning electron ...
