Poon and Yi Xiao and Dudley Saville and Ilhan Aksay}, title = {Electrohydrodynamically patterned colloidal crystals}, abstract = { A method for assembling patterned cryst. arrays of colloidal particles using UV illumination of an optically-sensitive semiconducting anode while using the anode to apply an electronic field to the colloidal particles. The UV illumination increases c.d., and consequently, the flow of the colloidal particles. As a result, colloidal particles can be caused to migrate from nonilluminated areas of the anode to illuminated areas of the anode. Selective illumination of the anode can also be used to permanently affix colloidal crystals to illuminated areas of the anode while not affixing them to nonilluminated areas of the anode.
