Opaline Photonic Crystals: How Does Self‐Assembly Work?

Norris, D. J., Arlinghaus, E. G., Meng, L., Heiny, R., Scriven, L. E.·2004·Advanced Materials

Abstract

Thin opaline films (see Figure), which are self-assembled from colloidal microspheres, have recently been used to explore the properties of photonic crystals. However, the detailed growth mechanism of these opals is not known. Here the underlying issues involved in the growth are discussed, and it is suggested that solvent flow, which to date has not been seriously considered, could play a critical role in controlling the formation process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
