On the Occurrence of Domain Boundaries and Defects in Self-Organized Ordered Porous Anodic Alumina Systems.

The formation of domains and defects is a part of every self-organized structure without prepatterning which evolves from the electrochemical oxidation of valve metals like Ti, Al or Ta. Defects and domains, especially in highly ordered porous alumina films (PAOX), are one of the most studied phenomena in the current literature. The focus is on understanding their formation in order to find parameters to minimize their amount for applications that require the most highly organized structures.
