Abstract

This work is trying to fabricate nanostructure, for the first time, on the porous anodic alumina’s (PAA) barrier layer, which has smooth half-sphere structure. The deposition of indium oxide confirms that the materials can completely cover the surface area of the barrier layer. Both chemical dissolving the PAA or mechanical peel-off can bring free-standing indium oxide thin layer. Morphology study on both sides of deposited layer verifies that the ordered indium oxide nanorods can self-arrange well and form a half-sphere front surface and nanohole-array rear surface. This work confirms that we can get some special nanostructures with the help of the barrier layer of PAAs.
