We review the recently emerged class of hybrid metal‐dielectric colloidal photonic crystals.
The hybrid approach is understood as the combination of a dielectric photonic crystal with a …

Traditional photonic sensing based on the change of balanced reflection of photonic
structures can hardly distinguish chemical species with similar refractive indices. Here a …

Enhanced light harvesting is an area of interest for optimizing both natural photosynthesis
and artificial solar energy capture 1, 2. Iridescence has been shown to exist widely and in …

Numerous optical technologies and quantum optical devices rely on the controlled coupling
of a local emitter to its photonic environment, which is governed by the local density of …

This review concerns the recently emerged class of composite colloidal photonic crystals
(PCs), in which gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are included in the photonic structure. The use …

The present review attempts to comprehensively overview the progress in the field of
nanoparticle-related analytical laser and plasma spectroscopy research, focusing on the …

Solvent wrapped “metastable” crystalline colloidal arrays (CCAs) have been prepared by
supersaturation induced precipitation and self-assembly of monodisperse particles in …

Monolayers of colloidal spheres are used as masks in nanosphere lithography (NSL) for the
selective deposition of nanostructured layers. Several methods exist for the formation of self …

The introduction of photonic technologies into biodetection fields is in high demand to
