Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

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 × 10 9 to 5 × 10 11 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 × 10 11 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.
