The controlled growth of MgO nanorods was investigated under electron irradiation in transmission electron microscopes at accelerating voltages from 120 to 300 kV in the temperature range from -175 to 610 degrees C. The nanorod growth on the surface of MgO crystals was induced by Au, Pt, Ni, or Co particles of 2-4 run in size. The nanorods were grown tip to 8 nut after 5-30 min of electron irradiation time with beam current densities of 100-600 A/cm(2). The mechanism of nanorod formation and growth is explained on the basis of electrostatic interactions between positive ions of MgO species and negatively charged metal particles.
