Photonic structures have wide applications in a variety of fields. Self-assembly of building
blocks, including block copolymers, homopolymers, liquid crystals, and colloidal particles …

We demonstrate a Tamm-plasmon-polariton (TPP) based sensor for accurate determination
of temperature. The sensing architecture is comprised of thin silver (Ag) film on a distributed …

Self‐assembly has the advantage of fabricating structures of complex functionalities, from
molecular levels to as big as macroscopic levels. Natural self‐assembly involves self …

Controllable layer‐structured 3D photonic crystals (PCs) are prepared using the
combination of the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique and layer‐by‐layer stacking method …

Structural color in naturally occurring systems is generally constituted by nanoscale lattices
of biopolymers that generate beautiful iridescences through their regular structures, often …

In this work, we present a facile approach on the remarkable enhancement of fluorescent
signal by heterostructure colloidal photonic crystals (PCs) with dual stopbands. The intensity …

The feasibility of stacking of thin ceramic inverse opals with incommensurable periodicity
constants was investigated. Inverse opals with photonic stopgaps in the infrared range were …

We developed a simple method to fabricate colloidal crystal heterostructures (CCHs) with
two or three stacked poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) particle two-dimensional (2D) …

Titania inverse opal heterostructures demonstrating two distinctive photonic stopgaps were
fabricated by repetitive vertical self-assembly and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Angle …

We present a systematic analysis of three-dimensionally (3D) ordered photonic crystals
fabricated using the recently reported inward growing self-assembling method. The …
