摘要
SiO2 colloidal crystals were fabricated by vertical deposition and spin coating methods, and their appearance morphology, microstructure and photonic band-gap properties were compared. The used colloidal SiO2 spheres were synthesized by improved Stober method with different diameters and small relative standard deviation. With white light illumination, characteristic six-beam diffraction appears on the SiO2 colloidal crystal fabricated by spin coating, while stripes appear on the surface of the SiO2 colloidal crystal fabricated by vertical deposition. SEM images reveal that, with different dilutions in the same spin coating process conditions, the quality of SiO2 colloidal crystal dispersed in a mixture of glycol and ethanol is best. Transmission measurement shows the colloidal crystal prepared by vertical deposition possesses clear photonic band gap in (111) direction, while the colloidal crystal prepared by spin coating is not the case.
