Assessment of colloidal self-assembly for photonic crystal
… into a three-dimensional ordered structure. This crystalline material has attracted significant interest on the implementation of photonic crystals, which have practical applications in reflectors, filters, resonators, and waveguides. In this thesis, self-assembly of colloidal crystals and …

Anomalous phenomena and spectral tailoring in photonic crystals
Photonic crystals are recently discovered meta-materials whose optical properties arise from periodic refractive index variations. In this thesis I examine various aspects of photonic crystals including a self-assembled photonic crystal, anomalous properties arising from periodicity, and tailoring …

Size-binary Zincblende: A Colloidal Approach to Omnidirectional Photonic Bandgaps
Binary colloidal mixtures have the potential to greatly expand the range of mesoscale structures fabricated by self-assembly, putting them at the frontier of the realization of novel photonic crystals. Currently, it is not understood how the multicomponent basis and particle size ratio of binary …
