Abstract
Surface-modified nanowires generally own some additional properties,and thus in this paper,the authors particularly studied the surface modification of nanowires via irradiation of focused electron beam in a Tecnai F-30 field emission transmission electron microscope (TEM).It was observed that controllable deposition of all kinds of amorphous carbon nanostructures,such as carbon particles,carbon rods and carbon films with local bulging,could be got on the surface of nanowires after intentional irradiation.In details,the controllable deposition of carbon nanostructures could be easily and precisely controlled by changing of some irradiation parameters such as beam spot diameter,irradiation manner,irradiation time and irradiation position.The possible deposition mechanisms of carbon nanostructures on the wire surface as induced by irradiation of focused electron beam in TEM were further discussed.In addition,some suggestions were also proposed on reducing of specimen pollution caused by undesired deposition of amorphous carbon materials during the irradiation.
