title: Unique fusiform alumina nanotubes fabricated by combined anodization.
abstract: Alumina nanotubes (ANTs) with unique fusiform morphologies were synthesized via a simple electrochemical route; the fluctuation of the electronic current density during the anodization process is considered to be the main reason for the formation of such new alumina nanostructures.
