Abstract
Colloidal crystals consisted of silica, polystyrene, and poly(methyl methacrylate) monodispersed suspensions; deionized sufficiently in water at the same condition; were formed; and their properties were compared changing sphere diameter and volume fraction systematically. The size of these colloidal crystals was maximized at their critical sphere concentration irrespective of their sphere size. The Bragg peak wavelengths of these colloidal crystals were uniquely determined only by the sphere diameter and volume fraction for all kinds of colloidal spheres used in this work. The larger the sphere volume fraction, the larger the crystal growth rates, and there were no significant differences among the colloidal spheres. The rigidity of colloidal crystals increased in proportion to the number density of spheres. Consequently, the crystallization mechanism and properties of colloidal crystals formed by these spheres are not dependent on the kind of spheres, but they are dependent only on the sphere diameter and number density.
