In this contribution we present an experimental study of 3D opal photonic crystals. The samples are opals constituted by colloidal silica spheres, realized with self-assembly technique. The sphere diameter is selected in order to obtain coupling of the photonic band gap with the emission from CdSe/ZnS colloidal quantum dots. The quantum dots infiltrated in the opals is expected to be enhanced or suppressed depending on the detection angle from the photonic crystal. The structural and optical characterization of the SiO2 opal photonic crystals are performed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and reflectivity spectroscopy. Measurements performed on samples permits to put into evidence the influence of the different preparation methods on the optical properties. Study of self-activated luminescence of the pure opals is also presented. It is shown that the luminescence of the sample with QDs have original QD emission and not due to the photonic crystal structure. The optical properties of colloidal core-shell semiconductor quantum dots of CdSe/ZnS which are prepared in our lab will be mention.

Invisible photonic prints that become visible by UV light irradiation were prepared via the self-assembly of Y2O3:Eu colloidal particles into amorphous photonic crystals (APCs) with controlled fluorescent and noniridescent structural colors.

AbstractVivid, saturated structural colors are a conspicuous and important aspect of the appearance of many organisms. A huge diversity of underlying 3D ordered biophotonic nanostructures has been documented, for instance, within the chitinaceous exoskeletons of insects. Here, we report diverse, highly ordered, intracellular, 3D biophotonic crystals in vivid plumages from three families of birds, which have each evolved independently from quasi-ordered (glassy) ancestral states. These morphologies include exotic bi-continuous single gyroid β-keratin and air networks, inverse b.c.c. and inverse opal (r.h.c.p.) close-packings of air spheres in the medullary β-keratin of feather barbs. These self-assembled avian biophotonic crystals may serve as biomimetic inspiration for advanced multi-functional applications, as they suggest alternative routes to the synthesis of optical-scale photonic crystals, including the experimentally elusive single gyroid.Field CodesMaterials Science and Evolutionary BiologyOne Sentence SummaryEvolutionary disorder-order transitions in bird feathers suggest direct optical scale self-assembly of photonic crystals
