Anodic aluminum oxide microchannel plates
A new material for microchannel plates (MCP) is proposed — anodic aluminum oxide. Microchannel plates made of this material may be much cheaper than with conventional lead glass MCP. Also a significantly smaller channel diameter (up to 70 nm) is easily achievable, which means better spatial resolution and the possibility to operate in strong magnetic fields. Methods and means are developed for ...
متن کاملFunctionalized Anodic Aluminum Oxide Membrane–Electrode System for Enzyme Immobilization
A nanoporous membrane system with directed flow carrying reagents to sequentially attached enzymes to mimic nature’s enzyme complex system was demonstrated. Genetically modified glycosylation enzyme, OleD Loki variant, was immobilized onto nanometer-scale electrodes at the pore entrances/exits of anodic aluminum oxide membranes through His6-tag affinity binding. The enzyme activity was assessed...
متن کاملFano resonance in anodic aluminum oxide based photonic crystals
Anodic aluminum oxide based photonic crystals with periodic porous structure have been prepared using voltage compensation method. The as-prepared sample showed an ultra-narrow photonic bandgap. Asymmetric line-shape profiles of the photonic bandgaps have been observed, which is attributed to Fano resonance between the photonic bandgap state of photonic crystal and continuum scattering state of...
متن کاملMulti-electrolyte-step anodic aluminum oxide method for the fabrication of self-organized nanochannel arrays
Nanochannel arrays were fabricated by the self-organized multi-electrolyte-step anodic aluminum oxide [AAO] method in this study. The anodization conditions used in the multi-electrolyte-step AAO method included a phosphoric acid solution as the electrolyte and an applied high voltage. There was a change in the phosphoric acid by the oxalic acid solution as the electrolyte and the applied low v...
متن کاملProgress in Nano-Engineered Anodic Aluminum Oxide Membrane Development
The anodization of aluminum is an electro-chemical process that changes the surface chemistry of the metal, via oxidation, to produce an anodic oxide layer. During this process a self organized, highly ordered array of cylindrical shaped pores can be produced with controllable pore diameters, periodicity and density distribution. This enables anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes to be used as ...
