Atomically Smooth Nanoporous Alumina Thin Films
A novel method of producing near-atomically smooth and porous alumina thin films with a tunable index of refraction Background Typically, high quality thin films are produced via vacuum-based techniques, though the nature of this technique makes it difficult to produce porous films. In lieu of vacuum techniques, solution processing is a low-energy...
