Abstract

Structural Colour from Optical Phenomena Caused by Interference with a Thin or Multilayer Film, Photonic Nanocrystals, Light Scattering and Diffraction Grating Effect

Highlights

Looking at our daily lives, we notice that we could not carry out our activities without light
By depositing TiO2 nano-film on irregular Ti surfaces it was possible to regenerate the light direction based on the surfaces that change its colour and the transparent achromatic quality coatings could be obtained with the help of SiO2 coating
Important in these procedures is the high flexibility of ion plating technology processing. It has been established after several attempts that the treatment of IPO SiO2 surfaces is better and preferable in the case of restoration and preservation of ancient historical plates when the optimized procedure with Ion Beam Electron Microscopy, performed on the porous structure of the plates, was used for final testing, which confirmed the increased flexibility and efficiency of the innovative Ion Plating Plasma Assisted (IPPA) technology (Kinoshita and Yoshioka, 2005)

Summary

Introduction

Looking at our daily lives, we notice that we could not carry out our activities without light. We know: The colours of many birds and insects come from the structural colour, created by the interaction of light with certain regular structures having a size of only a few hundred nanometers These structures decompose incident light into several reflected light waves, which interfere with each other, canceling or amplifying different wavelengths in different directions and which appear to our eyes as brightly coloured or iridescent. These studies (Kinoshita and Yoshioka, 2005) clarified that the staining is due to the presence of specific micro and nanostructures, which cannot be achieved by known nanotechnologies, which must be further developed technologically These structural colours come from optical phenomena caused by interference with a thin or multilayer film, photonic nanocrystals (quantum dots), light scattering and a diffraction grating effect. 2016a-b; Zheng and Li, 2016; Buonomano et al, 2016a-b; Faizal et al, 2016; Ascione et al, 2016; Elmeddahi et al, 2016; Calise et al, 2016; Morse et al, 2016; Abouobaida, 2016; Rohit and Dixit, 2016; Kazakov et al, 2016; Alwetaishi, 2016; Riccio et al, 2016a-b; Iqbal, 2016; Hasan and El-Naas, 2016; AlHasan and Al-Ghamdi, 2016; Jiang et al, 2016; Sepúlveda, 2016; Martins et al, 2016; Pisello et al, 2016; Jarahi, 2016; Mondal et al, 2016; Mansour, 2016; Al Qadi et al, 2016b; Campo et al, 2016; Samantaray et al, 2016; Malomar et al, 2016; Rich and Badar, 2016; Hirun, 2016; Bucinell, 2016; Nabilou et al, 2016; Barone et al, 2016; Chisari and Bedon, 2016; Bedon and Louter, 2016; Dos Santos and Bedon, 2016; Minghini et al, 2016; Bedon, 2016; Jafari et al, 2016; Chiozzi et al, 2016; Orlando and Benvenuti, 2016; Wang and Yagi, 2016; Obaiys et al, 2016; Ahmed et al, 2016; Jauhari et al, 2016; Syahrullah and Sinaga, 2016; Shanmugam, 2016; Jaber and Bicker, 2016; Wang et al, 2016; Moubarek and Gharsallah, 2016; Amani, 2016; Shruti, 2016; Pérez-de León et al, 2016; Mohseni and Tsavdaridis, 2016; Abu-Lebdeh et al, 2016; Serebrennikov et al, 2016; Budak et al, 2016; Augustine et al, 2016; Jarahi and Seifilaleh, 2016; Nabilou, 2016; You et al, 2016; Al Qadi et al, 2016a; Rama et al, 2016; Sallami et al, 2016; Huang et al, 2016; Ali et al, 2016; Kamble and Kumar, 2016; Saikia and Karak, 2016; Zeferino et al, 2016; Pravettoni et al, 2016; Bedon and Amadio, 2016; Chen and Xu, 2016; Mavukkandy et al, 2016; Yeargin et al, 2016; Al Madani and Dababneh, 2016; Alhasanat et al, 2016; Elliott et al, 2016; Suarez et al, 2016; Kuli et al, 2016; Waters et al, 2016; Montgomery et al, 2016; Lamarre et al, 2016; Petrescu, 2012b; Aversa et al, 2017a-b, 2016a-o; Petrescu and Petrescu, 2016; 2015a-e; 2014a-I; 2013a-g; 2012; 2011; 2005a-d; 2003; 2002a-b; 2000a-b; 1997a-c; 1995a-b; Petrescu, 2018; 2015a-b; 2012; Petrescu et al, 2016; 2017a-d; 2018a-d; Petrescu and Calautit, 2016a-b; Daud et al, 2008; Taher et al, 2008; Zulkifli et al, 2008; Pourmahmoud, 2008; Pannirselvam et al, 2008; Ng et al, 2008; El-Tous, 2008; Akhesmeh et al, 2008; Nachiengtai et al, 2008; Moezi et al, 2008; Boucetta, 2008; Darabi et al, 2008; Semin and Bakar, 2008; AlAbbas, 2009; Abdullah et al, 2009; Abu-Ein, 2009; Opafunso et al, 2009; Semin et al, 2009a-c; Zulkifli et al, 2009; Ab-Rahman et al, 2009; Abdullah and Halim, 2009; Zotos and Costopoulos, 2009; Feraga et al, 2009; Bakar et al, 2009; Cardu et al, 2009; Bolonkin, 2009a-b; Nandhakumar et al, 2009; Odeh et al, 2009; Lubis et al, 2009; Fathallah and Bakar, 2009; Marghany and Hashim, 2009; Kwon et al, 2010; Aly and Abuelnasr, 2010; Farahani et al, 2010; Ahmed et al, 2010; Kunanoppadon, 2010; Helmy and El-Taweel, 2010; Qutbodin, 2010; Pattanasethanon, 2010; Fen and Yunus, 2011; Thongwan et al, 2011; Theansuwan et al, 2011; Al Smadi, 2011; Tourab et al, 2011; Raptis et al, 2011; Momani et al, 2011; Ismail et al, 2011; Anizan et al, 2011; Tsolakis and Raptis, 2011; Abdullah et al, 2011; Kechiche et al, 2011; Ho et al, 2011; Rajbhandari et al, 2011; Aleksic and Lovric, 2011; Kaewnai and Wongwises, 2011; Idarwazeh, 2011; Ale Ebrahim et al, 2012; Abdelkrim et al, 2012; Mohan et al, 2012; Abam et al, 2012; Hassan et al, 2012; Jalil and Sampe, 2013; Abou Jaoude and El-Tawil, 2013; Ali and Shumaker, 2013; Zhao, 2013; El-Labban et al, 2013; Djalel et al, 2013; Nahas and Kozaitis, 2014)
