Concave
noun
A concave line or surface (hollowed or rounded inward like the inside of a bowl).
Example: According to the AFM data, the Al(111) singlecrystal surface after anodization and selective removal of the oxide film is a set of
semispherical concaves and spikes between them [3].
Ejection
noun
An act or instance of forcing out or driving.
Example: ... (iii) the direct ejection of Al+3 ions from the metal/oxide interface through the barrier oxide layer into the solution [1].
Foil
noun
Very thin sheet metal.
Example: High-purity aluminium foils (99.999%, 0.5 mm thick) were utilized for the study of porous anodic alumina formation in selenic acid electrolyte [1].
Hyperfine
adj
Being or relating to a fine-structure multiplet occurring in an atomic spectrum that is due to interaction between electrons and nuclear spin
Example: ... which has been shown both experimentally from the strongly inhomogeneous hyperfine field distributions found in Mossbauer spectroscopy... [2]
Inclination
noun
The fact or degree of sloping.
Example: The average value of the angle of inclination of the faces of the pyramidal spikes depending on the anodizing voltage is shown ... [3].
Interstitial
adj
Relating to spaces between cells, tissues, or organs in the body.
Example: ... Mn concentration, vacancies, and interstitial defects also have a significant impact on the magnetic moment of Mn atom [2].
Monocapped
adj
A polyhedron with one additional vertex.
Example: The CN=8 polyhedrons correspond to the monocapped square antiprism with one atom missing on the base square [2].
Non-collinear
adj
Not lying or acting in the same straight line noncollinear forces
Example: ... a fcc–based disordered configuration exhibited the non-collinear spin spiral structure, whereas a bcc–based configuration is stabilized in the antiferromagnetic order [2].
Quasi-steady-state
adj
A situation that is changing slowly enough that it can be considered to be constant.
Example: The influence of the mass-transport in the pores on structure ordering is discussed, but only in the case of the quasi-steady-state anodizing [1].
Spike
noun
A narrow, thin shape with a sharp point at one end, or something, especially a piece of metal, with this shape.
Example: Each concave corresponds to the base of the pore and is surrounded by six spikes [3].
Sputtering
noun
Deposit (metal) on a surface by using fast ions to eject particles of it from a target.
Example: At present, amorphous Fe is generally prepared by using high vacuum magnetron sputtering on a glass substrate or heavy ion irradiation [2].
Stirring
adj
Rousing, excited, moving, active.
Example: In 2015, the improvement of AAO regularity was achieved during anodizing in 3 M selenic acid by optimization of Al surface roughness, electrolyte stirring rate, and process duration, however the degree of pore ordering was estimated only qualitatively [1].
Stochastic
adj
Having a random probability distribution or pattern that may be analysed statistically but may not be predicted precisely.
Example: Above 110 V (region III) the non-uniform growth of the anodic alumina over film surface ... is accompanied by the stochastic oscillations on the j-U curve [1].
Tesselation
noun
A covering of an infinite geometric plane without gaps or overlaps by congruent plane figures of one type or a few types.
Example: The Voronoi polyhedron tessellation is another effective perspective of the local atomic order and provides both topological and geometric
characters of the local SRO around central atoms [2].
Tortuosity
noun
Tortuosity is a property of a curve being tortuous (twisted; having many turns).
Example: An increase in the tortuosity of pores in an oxide film with a decrease in the grain size of a metal is shown ... [3].
