摘要
Novel tree-like alumina nanopores were reproducibly obtained in non-steady-state anodization conditions by exponential decrease of anodization potential. The mechanism of pore formation was thought to be due to a combination of electrical treeing and mechanic stress in the growth process. Furthermore, some interesting properties from gold nanotrees were observed showing that the tree-like nanopores will be new templates towards fabrication of nanotrees from a variety of materials possibly exhibiting new shape-dependent properties.
