Using rigorous numerical tools for computing the field scattered by a set of 2D particles immersed in a 2D system of interferences, the optical forces exerted on these particles, and their motions, we investigate the conditions in which it is possible to reach an equilibrium with particles forming a structure close to a photonic crystal. It is shown that the number of particles forming the crystal is limited, the limitation depending on the parameters of the particles and on the characteristics of the impinging light. Special attention is paid to the binding phenomenon and it is shown that the period change between the initial trapping system and the photonic crystal behaves linearly with respect to the optical index contrast between the particles and the background medium. Finally, it is shown that the crystal is robust when it is illuminated by an additional plane wave.
