A method of solid state anodization comprising contacting a solid anode with a solid insulator that separates and contacts the anode and a solid permeable cathode whereby an oxidant infuses through the permeable cathode while the anode is biased sufficiently positive to cause anodization.

Growth of oxide films by vapor solid state anodization

Energetic particles modify favorably deposits from sources as evaporant to yield films that have a reduction in tension or even are in compression and with metals as chromium, an increase in reflectance. Only relatively few energetic particles are required to bring about desired change.
