Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adfm201470188-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>An interfacial energy‐driven colloidal lithography technique to fabricate periodic nanostructure ensembles from a solution phase is demonstrated by A. Dev et al. on page 4577. It exploits different interfacial forces to periodically trap a liquid precursor under a monolayer of colloidal silica spheres arranged on a Si substrate. Using this technique, circular and ring‐shaped patterns of ZnO nanowire ensembles and thin films are fabricated. The method described here can be adopted to make periodic patterns from a wide variety of soluble materials. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghwkxk60d" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
