Abstract

Track structures belong to nanomaterials. Therefore, when studying such structures, it is important to take into account the general properties of nanomaterials. It is important to predict the structural features of the tracks, the configuration of defects on the inner surfaces of the tracks depending on the characteristics of the fast ions that create them. Using a computer experiment, it is possible to achieve results that are much more difficult to obtain in a conventional laboratory experiment. The formation of a nanotrack with the necessary structural parameters depends not only on ion-stimulated processes, but also on other methods of film processing, in particular chemical etching. Computer modeling of the passage of ion flows through nanotracks allows obtaining results that must be taken into account to improve the quality of modern biosensors. New algorithms and computer programs have been developed to solve these problems.
