Comparison of Ordering Characteristics of Anodicformed Nanostructured Aluminum and Titanium Oxides Coatings

Abstract:

This article is concerned with the analysis of ordering the arrays of TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ nanotubes using the correlation-spectral methods. As the tools, the spatial Fourier spectrum and one-dimensional autocorrelation function of SEM-image have served. It was shown that the arrays of the aluminum oxide nanotubes can have a nearly ideal ordering on a small scale at the expense of two-stage anodizing. It this case, the degree of order depends also on the purity of initial aluminum and sample preparation method. The introduced characteristics can serve as the measures of the structure order-disorder sensitive to both type and degree of order as a whole and to configuration of structural elements themselves.
