Abstract

This paper reports the measurement of the reflection spectrum at various angles of incidence and show how these measurements can be used to evaluate the quality of the internal ordering of colloidal crystals. The technique is shown to provide valuable information about internal structures, including the sphere diameter and the degree of internal ordering. It also enables optimization of growth conditions for the crystals.
