Abstract

A method for producing insulator surfaces by increasing the surface area of a solid body presenting such surface, which method is carried out by uniformly bombarding the surface of the body with a collimated beam of ions generating latent nuclear tracks in the surface, and etching the bombarded surface to widen the nuclear tracks into adjacent, individual etched channels at least some of which contact one another.
