Abstract

Ordered porous anodic alumina (PAA) templates are of great interest as they facilitate the future development of nanodevices. The present study focuses on the impact of substrates with different crystallographic orientations on the template's pore structure. Characteristics such as pore diameter, interpore distance, pore regularity, porosity, and circularity are calculated as a function of the anodization potential for three different Al crystal orientations. The presented experiments reveal that the different crystallographic orientations mainly impact the pore ordering, while other structural parameters, such as the pore diameter and interpore distance, are not significantly affected.
