Columnar nanostructures (CNS) were grown by plasma chemical synthesis at a gas mixture pressure of 90% He + 10% O 2 200 Pa and substrate temperatures of 340K (sample 1) and 370K (sample 2). The effect of substrate temperature on the morphological, crystalline, magnetic, and impedance properties of CNS was studied. Scanning microscopy (SEM) showed that the morphology of CNS varies significantly from dendritic to wire structure. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) showed a change in the stoichiometry of the deficiency samples (Cu 52 O 48 ) to an excess of oxygen (Cu 42 O 58 ). X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Rietveld fitting showed that samples 1 and 2 have a monoclinic crystal structure with a large proportion of the amorphous phase, the size of coherent scattering regions (CSR) was 26 nm (sample 1). Magnetic measurements showed that sample 1 exhibits ferromagnetic behavior, and at 6 K a magnetic hysteresis loop appears. Sample 2 from 250 K to room temperature exhibits diamagnetic behavior. A connection was found between the appearance of diamagnetism and a jump in the dielectric constant of sample 2. An assumption was made about the electron-ionic nature of the diamagnetism of sample 2.
