Highly parallel acoustic assembly of microparticles into well-ordered colloidal crystallites.
The precise arrangement of microscopic objects is critical to the development of functional materials and ornately patterned surfaces. Here, we present an acoustics-based method for the rapid arrangement of microscopic particles into organized and programmable architectures, which are periodically spaced within a square assembly chamber. This macroscale device employs two-dimensional bulk acous...
متن کاملField-induced assembly of colloidal ellipsoids into well-defined microtubules
Current theoretical attempts to understand the reversible formation of stable microtubules and virus shells are generally based on shape-specific building blocks or monomers, where the local curvature of the resulting structure is explicitly built-in via the monomer geometry. Here we demonstrate that even simple ellipsoidal colloids can reversibly self-assemble into regular tubular structures w...
متن کاملImaging the sublimation dynamics of colloidal crystallites.
We studied the kinetics of sublimating crystals with single-particle resolution by experiments with colloidal spheres and by computer simulations. A short-range attraction between spheres led to crystallites one to three layers thick. The spheres were tracked with optical microscopy while the attraction was reduced and the crystals sublimated. Large crystallites sublimated by escape of particle...
متن کاملFormation of highly ordered nanostructures by drying micrometer colloidal droplets.
Nanoparticles with well-defined chemical compositions can act as building blocks for the construction of functional structures, such as highly ordered aggregates, as well as porous and hollow aggregates. In this work, a spray-drying technique is used to form a crystal-like structure with nanoparticle building blocks. When spray-drying uniform spherical particles, tightly packed aggregates with ...
متن کاملThree-Phase Co-assembly: In Situ Incorporation of Nanoparticles into Tunable, Highly Ordered, Porous Silica Films
We present a reproducible, one-pot colloidal co-assembly approach that results in large-scale, highly ordered porous silica films with embedded, uniformly distributed, accessible gold nanoparticles. The unique coloration of these inverse opal films combines iridescence with plasmonic effects. The coupled optical properties are easily tunable either by changing the concentration of added nanopar...
