Abstract
This chapter reports on several electrochemical deposition methods for growing metallic and magnetic nanostructured materials using patterned, self-organized, porous membranes as template substrates. The chapter first describes the synthesis of highly self-ordered nanoporous anodic alumina membranes through two-step anodization (mild anodization), single-step anodic (hard anodization) processes, and then by adequately combining these two methods to fabricate periodically modulated nanopore membranes; it also provides an overview of other typical membranes (titania nanotubes, zirconia, and so on) used as templates. The chapter then discusses several electrodeposition synthesis techniques such as potentiostatic, galvanostatic, pulsed deposition, or inclusively alternating current (AC) electrodeposition, usually used in the bottom-up growing of metallic and magnetic single or alloyed nanowire arrays by template-assisted electroplating in hexagonally ordered nanopores of anodic alumina membranes.
