Self-assembly of quasi-spherical colloidal particles in two-dimensional (2D) arrangements is
essential for a wide range of applications from optoelectronics to surface engineering, from …

Take polymer colloids—simple to make and ubiquitously available—let them self-assemble
into a monolayer and you have, readily engineered, a sophisticated mask to create highly …

The area of colloidal photonic crystal research has attracted enormous attention in recent
years as a result of the potential of such materials to provide the means of fabricating new or …

The fabrication of highly ordered nanostructures over large areas is key for many
technologies and colloidal lithography using the Langmuir Blodgett technique appears a …

Highly regular vertical ZnO nanopillar arrays were hydrothermally grown through a
nucleation window pattern generated by nanosphere photolithography. The in-plane …

In this study, a method for fabrication of high aspect ratio silicon nanopillars is presented.
The method combines liquid flame spray production of silica nanoparticle agglomerates with …

Stöber silica nanoparticles of diameter about 45, 60 and 100 nm and different
hydrophobicity are used to produce monolayers at a water–air interface. Both the surface …

In this paper, we have quantified and investigated the effect of various sintering temperature
on close-packed Silica Nanospheres (SNs) monolayers. SNs with diameters of 140, 175 and …

The nanopatterning of magnetic films by ion implantation is reported. Highly L1 0-ordered Fe
47 Pd 53 epitaxial alloy films on a MgO (001) substrate were covered by a monolayer of …

How can the two dimensional crystallization of colloids be used to form highly ordered
colloidal monolayers on solid substrates? What application does this have in generating …
