Abstrakt: Abstract: The paper considers the specific features of obtaining metal nanowires by matrix synthesis based on track membranes. The first part of the work considers the main ideas of the method and reviews the published sources devoted to producing nanowires of various types—single-component (from one metal) and multicomponent (from two or several metals). Variants of obtaining homogeneous structures (so-called alloyed nanowires) and heterogeneous structures (so-called layered nanowires) are considered for the latter case. A series of specific features of the electrodeposition method in the case of carrying out the process in a limited volume of membrane pores is considered. The second part of the work considers the experimental results obtained by the authors upon studying the electrodeposition of nanowires made of an iron–nickel alloy. The aim is to find a relationship between the conditions of the synthesis of nanowires and their structure and elemental composition. The features of the electrodeposition of nanowires are investigated and their topography is studied by electron microscopy (with elemental analysis); X-ray method is applied for studying the structure. So-called abnormal electrodeposition of iron is detected. The dependence of the integral elemental composition of the obtained nanowires on the pore diameter and growth voltage is discussed. Data on the nature of distribution of elements along the length of the nanowires are obtained; it is shown that the nonuniformity of the composition is determined by the conditions of production (in particular, different diffusion mobilities of ions in narrow pore channels) as well as depends on the voltage and diameter of the pore channels. Based on the X-ray diffraction data, the type of the lattice (FCC) is determined, and the nature of the change in the lattice parameter is shown which is presumably associated with the difference in the ionic radii of metals.
