Large-scale arrays of nanostructures on substrates, such as semiconductor or metal nano-
particle arrays, have attracted considerable interest due to their unique physical properties …

We have investigated the electrochemical synthetic mechanism of conductive polymer
nanotubes in a porous alumina template using poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) …

The template method for preparing nanomaterials entails synthesis of tubular or fibrillar
nanostructures within the pores of a microporous membrane. If the holes are completely …

A simple electrochemical method is presented to remove the bottom barrier layer of anodic
aluminum oxide (AAO). In this method, an electrolysis process was performed in neutral …

Nanopatterning processes based on a localized anodization of Si and the subsequent
chemical etching of SiO2 were developed to fabricate a dot array and a hole array on an Si …

AAO membranes were detached from Al substrates via an anodic voltage pulse using
aqueous HClO 4 solution without any organic reagents. Previous studies used a mixture of …

We demonstrate a “soft‐imprinting” method for the fabrication of highly ordered porous
anodic alumina (HOPAA) templates on different substrates (such as Si, glass slides, and …

We report a combinational method to fabricate well-aligned size-reduced gold nanowire (Au
NW) arrays on a Si substrate over large areas (> 1.5 cm2). In this method, we employ a SiO2 …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the main characteristics and fabrication
techniques used for obtaining templating membranes and depositing metal nanostructures …

We present heat capacity measurements on crystalline Zn nanowires with diameters of 230
and 23 nm, bracketing the superconducting coherence length of 155 nm. Transport …
