Silica films containing three dimensionally (3D) ordered pores were prepared by a simple dip coating method. A colloidal sol containing silica particles in the nanometer size range and a polystyrene latex (PSL) colloidal sol containing particles of tens of nanometers to one micrometer in size were used as precursors. The pore periodicity, which in turn produces the dielectric periodicity, can be easily altered by changing the size of the PSL beads. Films having a high surface smoothness were obtained by using small silica particles, large PSL particles, and a low withdrawal speed in the dip-coating. When the films were irradiated with a white light source, the reflective spectrum was changed by varying the incident angle, indicating its possible use as a monochromator. The change in the reflective spectrum was explained using effective medium approximation combined with a simple Bragg reflection equation. |
