Structure Analysis and Fabrication of Binary Colloid Crystals

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the bandgap characteristics of binary colloidal crystals (BCCs) constructed with polystyrene (PS) particles are analyzed, and several binary colloidal crystals were fabricated, specifically the non-close packed structures with improved vertical deposit method. The SEM images and reflectance spectra of the structures exhibit fine orderly structures obtained.
