| Sumario: | This Thesis has been focused on the development of functional nanostructures for a variety of applications, from structural coloring to magnetic nanostructures with tailored properties and highly efficient thermoelectric metamaterials. In all cases, the fabrication of such nanostructures has been based on two processes: aluminum anodization and electrochemical growth. Both are chemical processes, which need no vacuum and that are well known at the industrial level. The results that are presented in this manuscript represent the state of the art of both techniques, which is well endorsed by the publications that have resulted from it.In brief, the main objective pursued in this Ph.D. Thesis has been to prove the versatility of a recent kind of alumina membranes, consisting of longitudinal pores that are transversely perforated by smaller pore channels, in the development of future nanotechnology applications. These 3D-Anodic alumina templates (3D AAO) have been studied by themselves, but also used as templates to grow different materials and tune their properties... |
