Abstract

Growth of colloidal crystals on patterned substrates was analyzed using microscopic techniques. It was found that laser diffraction studies can be efficiently used to probe long range order in two- and three-dimensional crystals. This method was found sensitive to small variations in the crystalline lattice induced by a mismatch between the pattern and the particle size. The results show that surface pattern imposes a common, predetermined lattice orientation in colloidal crystals, which extends to the entire thickness of the crystal.
