Preparation and photoluminescence properties of dye doped polymerization crystalline colloidal arrays

Polymerization crystalline colloidal arrays (PCCA) were fabricated by light polymerization method. Microstructures of polymerization crystalline colloidal arrays were observed by SEM. The results show that the microspheres in the PCCA form into a face-centered cubic structure with (111) plane parallel to the surface of the quartz cell. In addition, the influence of photonic band gap on photoluminescence of dyes was also investigated in the PCCA. Suppression of the emission was observed if the photonic band gap overlapped with the dyes emission band in the PCCA. Suppression of the emission was attributed to the photon trapping of the Bragg reflection in the PCCA.     

Inside Front Cover: Line Defects Embedded in Three‐Dimensional Photonic Crystals (Adv. Mater. 15/2005)

The inside cover illustrates an approach to creating line defects embedded in the interior of a self‐assembled photonic crystal, as reported by Zhao and co‐workers on p. 1917. Photoresist patterns are first constructed on the surface of a silica opal film by conventional optical photolithography. After regrowth of the silica colloidal crystal, photoresist line defects are successfully introduced into the self‐assembled silica colloidal crystal. Further processing results in an inverse opal with air‐core line defects embedded in its interior, which provides a prototype for future optical waveguide devices based on self‐assembled three‐dimensional photonic crystals.     

Structural Coloration with Nonclose‐Packed Array of Bidisperse Colloidal Particles

Colloidal crystals and glasses have their own photonic effects. Colloidal crystals show high reflectivity at narrowband, whereas colloidal glasses show low reflectivity at broadband. To compromise the opposite optical properties, a simple means is suggested to control the colloidal arrangement between crystal and glass by employing two different sizes of silica particles with repulsive interparticle potential. Monodisperse silica particles with repulsive potential spontaneously form crystalline structure at volume fraction far below 0.74. When two different sizes of silica particles coexist, the arrangement of silica particles is significantly influenced by two parameters: size contrast and mixing ratio. When the size contrast is small, a long‐range order is partially conserved in the entire mixing ratio, resulting in a pronounced reflectance peak and brilliant structural color. When the size contrast is large, the long‐range order is rapidly reduced along with mixing ratio. Nevertheless, a short‐range order survives, which causes low reflectivity at a broad wavelength, developing faint structural colors. These findings offer an insight into controlling the colloidal arrangements and provide a simple way to tune the optical property of colloidal arrays for structural coloration.     

Layer‐by‐Layer Approach to (2+1)D Photonic Crystal Superlattice with Enhanced Crystalline Integrity

Large‐area polystyrene (PS) colloidal monolayers with high mechanical strength are created by a combination of the air/water interface self‐assembly and the solvent vapor annealing technique. Layer‐by‐layer (LBL) stacking of these colloidal monolayers leads to the formation of (2+1)D photonic crystal superlattice with enhanced crystalline integrity. By manipulating the diameter of PS spheres and the repetition period of the colloidal monolayers, flexible control in structure and stop band position of the (2+1)D photonic crystal superlattice has been realized, which may afford new opportunities for engineering photonic bandgap materials. Furthermore, an enhancement of 97.3% on light output power of a GaN‐based light emitting diode is demonstrated when such a (2+1)D photonic crystal superlattice employed as a back reflector. The performance enhancement is attributed to the photonic bandgap enhancement and good angle‐independence of the (2+1)D photonic crystal superlattice.     

Bio‐Inspired Bright Structurally Colored Colloidal Amorphous Array Enhanced by Controlling Thickness and Black Background

Inspired by Steller's jay, which displays angle‐independent structural colors, angle‐independent structurally colored materials are created, which are composed of amorphous arrays of submicrometer‐sized fine spherical silica colloidal particles. When the colloidal amorphous arrays are thick, they do not appear colorful but almost white. However, the saturation of the structural color can be increased by (i) appropriately controlling the thickness of the array and (ii) placing the black background substrate. This is similar in the case of the blue feather of Steller's jay. Based on the knowledge gained through the biomimicry of structural colored materials, colloidal amorphous arrays on the surface of a black particle as the core particle are also prepared as colorful photonic pigments. Moreover, a structural color on–off system is successfully built by controlling the background brightness of the colloidal amorphous arrays.     

Instantaneous,Simple, and Reversible Revealing of Invisible Patterns Encrypted in Robust Hollow Sphere Colloidal Photonic Crystals

The colors of photonic crystals are based on their periodic crystalline structure. They show clear advantages over conventional chromophores for many applications, mainly due to their anti‐photobleaching and responsiveness to stimuli. More specifically, combining colloidal photonic crystals and invisible patterns is important in steganography and watermarking for anticounterfeiting applications. Here a convenient way to imprint robust invisible patterns in colloidal crystals of hollow silica spheres is presented. While these patterns remain invisible under static environmental humidity, even up to near 100% relative humidity, they are unveiled immediately (≈100 ms) and fully reversibly by dynamic humid flow, e.g., human breath. They reveal themselves due to the extreme wettability of the patterned (etched) regions, as confirmed by contact angle measurements. The liquid surface tension threshold to induce wetting (revealing the imprinted invisible images) is evaluated by thermodynamic predictions and subsequently verified by exposure to various vapors with different surface tension. The color of the patterned regions is furthermore independently tuned by vapors with different refractive indices. Such a system can play a key role in applications such as anticounterfeiting, identification, and vapor sensing.
