Spiral-shaped aluminum nanowires grow from scratches and abrasions on the surface of black aluminum film after heating the film in a vacuum. The growth of nanowires is driven by the stress-induced migration of aluminum atoms. The mechanism of nanowire growth is studied in article number 2100467 by Marina Romanova and co-workers. – This article belongs to the Special Section “Defect-Induced Effects in Nanomaterials” (see the Guest Editorial, article number 2200283, by Nikolai A. Sobolev et al.) in this issue.

黑色铝膜的热稳定性和铝纳米线在退火过程中膜表面机械缺陷的生长

将黑色铝膜在真空中加热后，在黑色铝膜表面的划痕和擦伤中生长出螺旋状的铝纳米线。纳米线的生长是由铝原子的应力诱导迁移驱动的。Marina Romanova 及其同事在文章编号 2100467 中研究了纳米线生长的机制。– 本文属于本期特刊“纳米材料中的缺陷诱导效应”（参见客座社论，文章编号 2200283，作者 Nikolai A. Sobolev 等人）。
