Controlled growth of novel hyper-branched nanostructures in nanoporous alumina membrane.
This paper proposes a novel approach to fabricate hyper-branched anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) nanostructures with different branches on the vertically-aligned trunk and at the trunk terminal. Silver nanowires with different dimensional and multifunctional complexity have been prepared from this hyper-branched AAO template by varying the electrodeposition time. These kinds of novel nanostructure may be used to build blocks for nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices.
