  • Title: Effect of the anodization voltage on the pore-widening rate of nanoporous anodic alumina.
    Author: Rahman MM, Garcia-Caurel E, Santos A, Marsal LF, Pallarès J, Ferré-Borrull J.
    Journal: Nanoscale Res Lett; 2012 Aug 23; 7(1):474. PubMed ID: 22916731.
    Abstract:
    A detailed study of the pore-widening rate of nanoporous anodic alumina layers as a function of the anodization voltage was carried out. The study focuses on samples produced under the same electrolyte and concentration but different anodization voltages within the self-ordering regime. By means of ellipsometry-based optical characterization, it is shown that in the pore-widening process, the porosity increases at a faster rate for lower anodization voltages. This opens the possibility of obtaining three-dimensional nanostructured nanoporous anodic alumina with controlled thickness and refractive index of each layer, and with a refractive index difference of up to 0.24 between layers, for samples produced with oxalic acid electrolytes.
