Thanks. That's an informative analysis The nanoporous aluminum layer I made was approx. 400 nm thick. It could be made thicker or thinner as required. I haven't had the setup to make this stuff for quite some time, but I'm tempted to do it again. I was making it in 600 mm square sheets, but it could be turned into a continuous process.
