How can the two dimensional crystallization of colloids be used to
form highly ordered colloidal monolayers on solid substrates? What
application does this have in generating arrays of nanostructures?
These questions are addressed in Nicolas Vogel's thesis. Vogel
describes a simple preparation method for the formation of uniform
colloidal crystals over large areas, which he refines to yield more
complex binary and non-close-packed arrangements. These monolayers
can be applied to a process termed colloidal lithography which is
used to prepare high quality metallic nanostructures with tailored
properties defined to suit a variety of applications. Moreover, the
author describes a method used to create metallic nanodot arrays
with a resolution unprecedented for colloidal lithography methods.
The author also outlines methodology to embed nanoparticle arrays
into the substrate, which is developed and used to design robust,
re-usable biosensor platforms and nanoscale patterns of biomimetic
lipid bilayer membranes. The research in this thesis has led to a
large number of publications in internationally renowned journals.
