A colloidal crystal is a highly ordered array of particles which can be formed over a long range (to about a centimeter). Arrays such as this appear to be analogous to their atomic or molecular …

2024年5月29日 · In contrast to atomic crystals, colloidal crystals have much simpler interparticle interactions; they consist of solid particles in a fluid and can exhibit purely hard-sphere …

2024年5月16日 · Colloidal crystals are often considered to be the structural analogs of molecular crystals, wherein microscopic particles rather than molecules are arranged into highly ordered …

2016年1月27日 · In this Review, we describe recent progress in the study of colloidal crystals composed of tunable isotropic spheres, anisotropic particles and active particles. We focus on …

2010年10月29日 · Periodic arrays of colloids (colloidal crystals) have attracted much interest over the last two decades, largely because of their unique photonic properties. The archetype opal …

2013年1月1日 · Colloidal crystals have been useful models for studying crystallization in general. They have also attracted considerable attention as novel materials. In this chapter, we …

Colloidal crystals are assembled through many different processes including sonication,170 spin coating, 14,171 and epitaxial growth. 172 The colloidal templates are then used for metal …

In this review, we focus on the study of colloidal suspensions as model systems of collective behavior. We describe the nature of the particles that are most widely used in these studies, …

When gold nanocrystals have a low size distribution, they can self-assemble into three dimensional ordered mesoscopic structures, called “colloidal crystals”. The interest of these …

The term colloidal suspension refers unambiguously to the overall mixture (although a narrower sense of the word suspension is distinguished from colloids by larger particle size). A colloid …
