As mentioned in Chap. 1, although anodic porous alumina has been widely used as templates for fabricating various nanostructured materials, the self-organization mechanism of anodic porous alumina during the growth of nanopore channels, which finally determines the self-ordering quality of the in-plane porous patterns have been under debate for decades [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Recent experimental results on prepattern guided growth of pore channels in anodic porous alumina have provided very useful cases for the investigation of self-ordering mechanism, and also a reference system for verifying the theoretical models. It has been reported that if the Al surface was pre-patterned with nanopits by methods such as focused ion beam (FIB) patterning [7,8] or nanoimprinting by molds [9,10], the pore channels would prefer to nucleate at these pits, and then be guided to grow toward the Al substrate during anodization. In this way, designed perfect porous patterns other than the general quasi-hexagonal configuration can be obtained [9,11]. Also long-range ordered anodic porous alumina over a few mm 2 of area was achievable as long as the pre-pattern made on the Al surface was in the same size [10]. However, even anodized under self-ordering conditions, the pre-pattern cannot be sustained by the newly formed anodic porous alumina after a short anodization period or oxide thickness; as a result the aspect ratio of pre-pattern guided pore channels was limited to a few hundred for hexagonal pre-patterns, and much smaller for other kinds of pre-patterns [10,12].From both experimental and numerical simulation viewpoints, this chapter will show that the above experimental phenomena are intrinsically governed by the selforganization nature of anodic porous alumina under certain anodization conditions, which really determine the growth sustainability of pore channels guided by prepatterns [13]. Numerical simulation of real-time pore channel evolution was carried out based on the established kinetics model in Chap. 2. In contrast with the oxide flow model [5], in which pore channels were assumed to grow by oxide flowing
