Abstract

Three-dimensionally ordered self-assembly of monodispersed colloidal SiO₂ particles involving a structure with periodic alternation of refractive indices represents an advanced field of particuology, colloidal chemistry, materials science, optical physics and information science. Study on such self-assembly not only lays the foundation for the development of advanced functional materials, but also is significant in understanding the principles of nano- and micro-scale processes. Recent progress in three-dimensionally ordered self-assembly of colloidal SiO₂ particles is reviewed, inclusive of the authors' investigations.
