Abstract

The self-organization of porous nanostructures in anodic metal oxideis considered. A mathematical model which incorporates the chemicalreactions at the metal-oxide and oxide-electrolyte interfaces andelastic stress caused by the electrostrictive effects isdeveloped. It is shown through linear stability analysis, that ashort-wave instability exists in certain parameter regimes which canlead to the formation of hexagonally ordered pores observed inanodized aluminum oxide.
