Popis: Silica and polystyrene spheres with a small size ratio (r = 0.005) form by sequential hanging drop self-assembly, a binary colloidal crystal through which calcination transforms in a silica-ordered concavity array. These arrays are capable of light Bragg diffraction and shape dependent optical phenomena, and they can be transformed into inverse-opal structures. Hierarchical 2D and 3D super-structures with ordered concavities as structural units were fabricated in this study.
