Anodic aluminum oxide template has a unique advantage in the preparation of nanostructure of array structure. The pore size and film thickness can be controlled by changing the electrolyte, voltage and temperature in the synthesis process. In this article, through the analysis of current production curve in the process of comparison of the anodic alumina template system and realize the current common microscope to control and monitor the size of the template. The relationship between current and voltage and pore size is studied, so as to realize the precise preparation of anodic aluminum oxide template based on current-controlled method.

Using anodic aluminum oxide template to synthesize nanometer array materials has been one of the most crucial technologies in the field of nano-copy. In this paper, we report a method to fabricate well-aligned and highly ordered homogeneous Ti-Pd alloy template and nanowires array from original template with the cylindrical pores by pulsed laser deposition. Scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope and energy dispersive X-ray measurements show excellent similarity between the original template, the copied Ti-Pd alloy template and nanowires array. Several potential modifications of the metal make the application in producing quantum structures can be followed due to this technique. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
