本文介绍了目前的研究活动，集中在单分散的胶体球的直径落在10 nm至1 μm的范围内的任何地方的福尔斯。它被组织成三个部分：第一部分简要地讨论了几个有用的方法，已开发用于生产单分散的胶体球，具有严格控制的大小和明确定义的属性（表面和体积）。第二部分调查一些技术，已被证明为组织这些胶体球成二维和三维有序晶格。第三部分强调了这些晶体组件的一些独特的应用，如它们作为光子带隙（PBG）晶体的用途;作为可移动的模板来制造具有高度有序和三维互连的多孔结构的大孔材料;作为光刻图案化中的物理掩模;以及作为衍射元件来制造新型光学传感器。最后，我们总结了一些个人观点的方向，在这一领域的未来研究可能会被导向。
This article presents an overview of current research activities that center on monodispersed colloidal spheres whose diameter falls anywhere in the range of 10 nm to 1 μm. It is organized into three parts: The first part briefly discusses several useful methods that have been developed for producing monodispersed colloidal spheres with tightly controlled sizes and well-defined properties (both surface and bulk). The second part surveys some techniques that have been demonstrated for organizing these colloidal spheres into two- and three-dimensionally ordered lattices. The third part highlights a number of unique applications of these crystalline assemblies, such as their uses as photonic bandgap (PBG) crystals; as removable templates to fabricate macroporous materials with highly ordered and three-dimensionally interconnected porous structures; as physical masks in lithographic patterning; and as diffractive elements to fabricate new types of optical sensors. Finally, we conclude with some personal perspectives on the directions towards which future research in this area might be directed.
