Abstract
We investigate the nanopore changes near domain boundaries during the nanopore growth in porous anodic alumina (PAA) to understand the domain growth behavior with the anodization time. In order to observe the pore changes with the time, we analyze cleavage planes of PAA according to the nanopore length using a field emission scanning electron microscopy. The domain growth can be explained with three kinds of nanopore changes observed near domain boundaries: a change of pore diameter, a pore-branching, and a pore-movement.
