Abstract
The technology for the formation of functional coatings from hollow glass microspheres by the self-organization method from aqueous-alcoholic suspensions is proposed. A monolayer with the closest (hexagonal) packing is shown to be formed on a solid (glass) substrate. The criterion for the ordering of a monolayer is proposed. The assessment of the influence of various technological factors on the monolayer formation rate and the degree of its ordering is given.
Highlights
Layers of glass microspheres are considered to be promising materials as reflective [1] and heat-insulating [2, 3] coatings, devices for concentrating of light energy in nanolithography and solar energy [4]
A monolayer with the closest packing is shown to be formed on a solid substrate
Light focused by a microsphere called "photonic stream" can be applied in optical traps for manipulating nanoobjects, and designing microscopes with a resolution lower than the wavelength
