Fabrication and optical characterization of a high-quality fcc-opal-based photonic crystal grown by the vertical convective self-assembly method

Fabrication and optical characterization of close-packed 225 nm SiO2 -based colloidal crystals. Materials and methods: Thevertical convective self-assembly method is used to grow high-quality 225 nm close-packed SiO2-based colloidal crystals. An annealingprocess (550°C) is made in order to improve t...
