Templated self-assembly of nanoporous alumina : pore formation and ordering mechanisms, methodologies, and applications
… also known as porous alumina, is a self-ordered nanostructured material well-suited for use in electronic, magnetic, optical and biological applications due to its small pore size (4-200nm) and spacing (10-500nm). Under slightly acidic conditions, both oxidation and dissolution of aluminum leads …
