We fabricate iron nanolines by depositing an atomic beam of iron through a far-off resonant laser standing wave (SW) onto a glass-ceramic substrate. The laser SW is tuned 200 MHz above the 5D4→5F5o 56Fe transition at a vacuum wavelength of 372.099 nm. The resulting nanolines exhibit a period of 186 nm, a height above the background of 8 nm and a full width at half maximum of 95 nm. These nanostructures cover a surface area of ≃1.6×0.4 mm2, corresponding to ≃8600 iron lines with a length of ≃400 μm.
