The colloidal domain is characterized by the dimensions of its constituents in the range from
several nanometers to micrometers. Often, these individual entities are organized in …

Within the field of nanotechnology, nanoparticles are one of the most prominent and
promising candidates for technological applications. Self-assembly of nanoparticles has …

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 …

Colloidal crystals (CCs) are ordered arrays of monodisperse colloidal particles. Because of
the presence of a periodic superlattice of colloids and voids, CCs bear many unique …

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 …

For a wide range of applications, films are deposited from colloidal particles suspended in a
volatile liquid. There is burgeoning interest in stratifying colloidal particles into separate …

The fabrication studies of silica/polystyrene (PS) colloidal microlens arrays with various
aspect ratios were performed on the III-nitride light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The use of …

Near-and sub-wavelength photonic structures are used by numerous organisms (eg insects,
cephalopods, fish, birds) to create vivid and often dynamically-tunable colors, as well as …

High-sensitivity resistive strain gauges based on electron tunneling in assemblies of gold
colloidal nanoparticles are fabricated and characterized. The active area of these strain …

We present an innovative apparatus allowing self-assembly at air/water interface in a
smooth and reproducible way. The combination of water discharge and surface confinement …
