Electron-beam radiation can be employed to repair nanostructures through a process known as electron-beam-induced deposition or EBID. In EBID, a focused electron beam is directed at the damaged or missing part of the nanostructure. This beam interacts with a precursor gas, causing a chemical reaction that deposits material and restores the structure. It is a precise and controllable technique, offering the potential to repair or modify nanostructures at a very fine scale, making it valuable in nanotechnology and materials science.
