Anodic porous alumina,–AAO–(also known as nanoporous alumina, nanohole alumina
arrays,–NAA–or nanoporous anodized alumina platforms,–NAAP–) has opened new …

The production of self-organized porous anodic alumina (PAA) with large intepore intervals
(D c> 380 nm) is still under development. The PAA is very interesting for application in optics …

High-purity aluminum plates were anodized in phosphoric acid and six phosphate solutions
over a wide pH range from acidic to alkaline. The current density corresponding to the …

In the present study, we investigated the effect of an anode temperature on current transient
process during porous anodic alumina growth and morphology of the anodic layers …

A characteristic feature of the disordered pore growth at the initial stage of aluminum
anodizing is the development of three large groups of pores: the major pores of larger …

Anodic oxidation of aluminum in solutions that dissolve the amorphous oxide produces films
with hexagonally-ordered patterns of pores. We show using linear stability analysis that an …

Self-organized porous anodic oxide films are formed by the electrochemical oxidation of
reactive metal aluminum in acidic solutions in which the oxide is soluble. Recently, viscous …

Growth of self-organized porous anodic alumina films initiates after growth of the initial
compact barrier oxide becomes unstable. The process of self-ordering is characterized by …

Porous aluminum oxide (PAOX) is one of the most studied examples of spontaneous self-
organization in electrochemistry. Despite the intense research efforts over more then 50 …

A novel ultra-smoothing process for aluminum surfaces was developed using porous
alumina formation and subsequent oxide dissolution. A submicron-scale periodic dimpled …
