Several theories have been postulated to describe the mechanism for the ordered holes array formation in electrolytic method for alumina template construction. We have proposed a new one for the same in this manuscript considering the simple columbic forces of repulsion between the negative ions accumulated on to the initially formed barrier layer resulted in their minimal energy arrangement in circles and then in the hexagons which pulling out the Al ion through the initially formed barrier layer from Al foil due to the resultant electric field at their center. The pulled Al ion forms the alumina on the circumference of the hexagons disturbing its resulting electric field direction to facilitates the pulling of the Al ion from its displaced pointed place. The reason for the particular depth of holes has also been simulated theoretically.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
