Gamma Rays: Frequency Range: 1020 - 1024 Hz Wavelength Range: <10exp(-12) m
10 exp(-12) meters = 61.4421235 microns The nano structure must be less than the wavelength of the radiation, A BIG peice of nano-material is at or under 100 nanometers. This is less than 61 microns so a nano-structure that small can convert a gamma ray to heat because it is less than the far wavelenth of the radiation.
