Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="smll201303616-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Surfactant induced ordering</bold> of 2D and 3D colloidal crystal photonic crystals is possible on metallic substrates by dip‐coating at fast rates (≈1 mm/min). Ordered monolayer opals on conductive gold‐coated silicon substrates behave as a 2D diffraction grating. The method allows high throughput, ordered colloidal crystal formation useful as nanomaterials templates for energy storage or functional materials. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh751cbw7" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
