Geometry of Kossel lines in colloidal crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 Geometrical aspects of Kossel diagrams obtained in light diffraction experiments are considered. Using a computer, orthogonal projections of spherical Kossel diagrams are drawn for b.c.c. and f.c.c. crystals of different densities. Theoretical diagrams are compared with the experimental results.

Photonic band structure of fcc colloidal crystals.
Polystyrene colloidal crystals form three dimensional periodic dielectric structures which can be used for photonic band structure measurements in the visible regime. From transmission measurements the photonic band structure of an fcc crystal has been obtained along the directions between the L point and the W point. Kossel line patterns were used for locating the symmetry points of the lattic...
متن کاملShear waves in colloidal crystals : I. Determination of the elastic modulus
2014 Shear waves are excited in a latex sample. One detects the vibrations of the sample using light scattering phenomena (Kossel rings). The amplitude of vibrations of the latex sample, when recorded as a function of the frequency of excitation, presents a series of resonances. Analysis of the resonance peaks allows to determine the elastic modulus of the latex crystal. We study the variation ...
متن کاملPhotonic crystals Fabrication of Tunable Spherical Colloidal Crystals Immobilized in Soft Hydrogels**
Spherical colloidal crystals are three-dimensional periodic arrays of monodisperse colloidal particles with a spherical geometry. The spatial periodicity of the refractive index of the colloidal crystalline arrays results in an optical stop band and, hence, they act as photonic crystals in the optical regime. In contrast to conventional film-type colloidal crystals where the crystals are aligne...
متن کاملLocal stress analysis in an SMA during stress-induced martensitic transformation by Kossel microdiffraction
The Kossel microdiffraction in a scanning electron microscope allows for local stress determination. This technique has been applied to monitor stress evolution within grains of austenite in the course of martensitic transformation in a shape memory alloy. Kossel diffraction patterns were recorded during in situ tensile straining of Cu-Al-Be alloy. These innovative measurements show large stres...
متن کاملIn situ X-ray crystallographic study of the structural evolution of colloidal crystals upon heating
The structural evolution of colloidal crystals made of polystyrene hard spheres has been studied in situ upon incremental heating of a crystal in a temperature range below and above the glass transition temperature of polystyrene. Thin films of colloidal crystals having different particle sizes were studied in transmission geometry using a high-resolution small-angle X-ray scattering setup at t...
