The following is my thinking concerning a poor-man’s technics that might get nanorods built on a Celani type wire or alternitively a nickel micro-powder.
Step one is to build a homemade magnetron in a vacuum chamber that might produce nickel Nano-rods on an appropriate substrate. See how to build the magnetron here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk_MZ22OVyg Step two is to place a nickel wire as pre-treated by Celani or a nickel micro-powder on the head of a magnet as a platform for sputtering. Step three is to perform sputtering as seen in the aforementioned YouTube video. Another way is to coat aluminum micro-powder used as a whisker template with nickel as a variant of this technique shown as follows: http://education.mrsec.wisc.edu/nanolab/nickel/index.html Cheers: Axil On Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 12:05 PM, Harry Veeder <[email protected]> wrote: > There must be poor-man technics that would get you part way there. > The regularity and number of cracks would not be ideal, but at least > it would be enough to test your theory. > > Harry > > On Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 11:40 AM, Edmund Storms <[email protected]> > wrote: > > My theory predicts that replication will only occur when the required > gaps > > are made by nanomachining or growth of nanomaterials having the preformed > > required structure.
