| We have actively exploroed the use of spherical colloids as building blocks in forming complex structures through self-assembly. In one approach, we have assembled spherical colloids into polygons, polyhedrons, and helical chains by confining with various templates. In another approach, we have organize spherical colloids into three-dimensional crystals with interesting photonic properties. This talk will briefly discuss all these methods, with an emphasis on their mechanisms and potential extensions. |
