Magnetoresistance of Nanowires Electrodeposited into Anodized Aluminum Oxide Nanochannels

Nanoporous anodized aluminum thickness optimization through pulse current mode

The purpose of this study was to optimize the thickness of anodizing Aluminum coatings processed under pulse current mode through the Design of Experiments (DOE) method. Thickness measurement, polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to take Thickness and corrosion behaviors of the anodized coatings into consideration. Also, Field-emission scanning electron microsco...

Growth and Characterization of Iron Nanowires Into Anodized Aluminum Oxide Templates Using Electrodeposition Technique

The Fe nanowires were prepared by Ac electrodeposition method. The two steps anodized aluminum oxides (alumina) were used as templates for electrodeposition of magnetic nanowires. Sulfuric acid was used to anodize aluminum. The pours diameter and growth rate of alumina were investigated. The FeSO4 electrolyte was used for growth of nanowires. The prepared magnetic nanowires were characterized b...

Biomimetic isotropic nanostructures for structural coloration.

Many species of birds have feathers that are brilliantly colored without the use of pigments. In these cases, light of specifi c wavelengths is selectively scattered from nanostructures with variations in index of refraction on length-scales of the order of visible light. [ 1 ] This phenomenon is called structural color. The most striking examples of structural color in nature are iridescent co...

Global Oxygen Detection in Water Using Luminescent Probe on Anodized Aluminum

We have developed anodized-aluminum pressure-sensitive paint (AA-PSP) as a global oxygen sensor in water. Platinum (II) meso-tetra(pentafluorophenyl)porphine is selected as a luminophore based on a dipping deposition study. The developed AA-PSP is characterized using water calibration setup by controlling dissolved oxygen concentration. It is shown that AA-PSP yields 4.0% change in luminescence...
