Photoinduced Superhydrophilic TiO 2 –PHEA/PS Photonic Crystal Composites with Vivid Structural Color, Self‐Cleaning Ability, and Robust Structure

Here, we show that a hybrid plasmonic/photonic crystal consisting of a thin layer of bioactive plasmonic material (i.e. silver) deposited on top a 1D PhC can detect one of the most common bacterial contaminant, namely Escherichia coli. We speculate that the change in the plasmon charge density brought about by metal/bacterium interaction results in a variation of the plasmon resonance that, in turns, translates in a shift of the photonic structural color.

Based on transfer matrix method (TMM), the model and calculation of 3-D Photonic Crystal with Face-Centered-Cubic (FCC) Structure are presented. The microsphere size, the crystal stack thickness and the incident angle have an influence on optical properties of 3-D Photonic Crystal. With the microsphere size increasing, the wavelength corresponding to the positions of PBG becomes larger causing structural color changing from blue to red. The reflectivity becomes higher and PBG is narrower when the crystal stack thickness increases. With the incident angle becoming larger, the reflectivity does not change significantly, while the wavelength corresponding to the positions of PBG becomes shorter causing structural color changing from red to blue.
