Abstract
The electric properties of films of the metals reduced from oxides using the selective removal of atoms (SRA) under proton irradiation were investigated. The electric characteristics of SRA films were found to correspond to characteristics of the deposited films of pure metals. The possibility of creating nanowires in a matrix of initial oxide under irradiation through a PMMA mask was shown. Individual nanowires and pairs of nanowires from bismuth were created. The electric characteristics of both nanowires and leak currents between closely located nanowires were measured. The possibility of creating two isolated nanowires at a distance of 70 nm was shown.
