The growth of metal nanowires using membranes as hard templates is reviewed. The
method provides access to arrays of single-crystal metal nanowires and to quasi-one …

The mechanism for one-step detachment of porous anodic alumina (PAA) membranes by
using an electrochemical voltage pulse technique is systematically studied. Electrochemical …

Here we present for the first time a study of the photoresistive properties and dynamics of
ordered, high-density arrays of germanium nanowire photoresistors. Germanium is a …

The formation of nanoporous TiO 2 by anodization of titanium films deposited on silicon
substrates was investigated. Films with homogeneously distributed pores having an average …

Vertical single-walled and double-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT and DWNT) arrays have
been grown using a catalyst embedded within the pore walls of a porous anodic alumina …

Nanoporous alumina membranes represent templates for the synthesis and alignment of
filamentous nanostructured materials. Porous aluminium oxide (PAOX) membranes are …

An anodic aluminum oxide/Ti/Si substrate was successfully synthesized by the anodization
of an aluminum film on a Ti/Si substrate and then used as a template to grow 10nm diameter …

We report a general, simple, and inexpensive approach to pattern features of self-
assembled monolayers (SAMs) on silicon and gold surfaces using porous anodic alumina …

Nanodiamond films containing uniformly small diamond grains (< 20 nm) were synthesized
using porous anodic alumina (PAA) as template in conjunction with bias-enhanced …

In this work, a composite mesoporous inorganic membrane was synthesized with a two layer
structure. The supporting layer was a macroporous α-Al2O3 substrate prepared with the …
