Abstract Highly ordered arrays of epitaxial iron thin film nanostructures were grown by molecular beam epitaxy techniques on m-plane sapphire α-Al2O3 (1 0 1 0) substrates. Iron was deposited by electron beam evaporation under shallow incidence onto faceted sapphire substrates held at elevated temperatures of 450°C. Scanning electron microscopy suggests the formation of morphologically and electrically isolated nanowire structures on the ridges of the facets. The topology of the structures depends strongly on the iron deposition angle.
