Abstract

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film has recently attracted much attention as a key material for the fabrication of various nanostructures. A control of anodizing voltage (U) was employed to render different anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanostructures with pore diameter ($D_p$) and interpore distance ($D_{int}$) in oxalic acid. In this work, we study the effect of stepwise modulation of anodizing voltages on the shape and dimension of porous structures along the vertical direction and demonstrate the fabrication of hierarchical layers of systematically controlled three-dimensional (3D) pore profile.
