Effects of pH and ionic strength on the self-assembly of silica colloids to opaline photonic structures
The surface charge of particles, modified or screened by pH and counterions, has a crucial role in the formation of homogeneous and well ordered opal films. The optical properties of the obtained opaline structures has been correlated with the quality of opal films. The effect of the pH and the ioni...
