Embodiment 1

[0023] Synthesis of FeOOH nanorods:

[0024] According to an exemplary embodiment, the method begins with the synthesis of FeOOH nanorods. In a typical synthesis of 70 nm FeOOH nanorods, FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O was dissolved in 40 mL deionized water, and the Fe 3+ The concentration was adjusted to 0.02M. The undissolved pellet was discarded after centrifugation at 11000 rpm for 3 minutes. The supernatant was added to a three-necked flask and heated at 81 °C for 12 hours with magnetic stirring. The particles were then separated by centrifugation, washed several times with water and dispersed in 7.2 mL of water.

[0025] Surface modification of FeOOH nanorods:

[0026] The surface of the as-synthesized FeOOH nanorods was first functionalized with polyacrylic acid (PAA). Typically 3 mL of the above FeOOH dispersion and 1 mL of PAA solution (7.2 mg / mL) were added to 16 mL of water under sonication. The mixture was then stirred for 12 hours to allow PAA functionalization of the nano...

Embodiment 2

[0034] Nano-ellipsoids with higher aspect ratios can also be synthesized. In a typical synthesis of 110 nm FeOOH nanorods, FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O was dissolved in 40 mL deionized water, and the Fe 3+ The concentration was adjusted to 0.1M. 1 g of CTAB was added to the solution. The undissolved pellet was discarded after centrifugation at 11000 rpm for 3 minutes. The supernatant was added to a three-necked flask and heated at 90 °C for 18 hours with magnetic stirring. The particles were then separated by centrifugation, washed several times with water and dispersed in 36 mL of water.

[0035] The FeOOH nanorods thus synthesized were modified with PAA by a similar procedure. For silica coating, add 200 µL of TEOS to the above mixture every 30 min until the total amount of TEOS reaches 1.2 mL. After an additional 1 h reaction, the FeOOH@SiO 2 The nanospheroids were separated, washed several times with ethanol and water, and dispersed in ethanol. Then similar to the above process...

Abstract

A method of forming a magnetically tunable photonic crystal is disclosed, comprising: synthesizing one or more precursor nanoparticles having an anisotropic shape; coating the one or more anisotropic precursor nanoparticles to form a composite structure; converting the one or more anisotropic precursor nanoparticles into a magnetic nanomaterial by chemical reaction; and assembling the anisotropic magnetic nanoparticles into a photonic crystal in a solvent.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods of forming magnetically tunable photonic crystals based on anisotropic nanostructures. Background technique [0002] Colloidal assemblies have been extensively explored to generate artificial structural colors by manipulating the interaction of light with physically periodic structures. Easily found in nature such as opal, bird feathers, and butterfly scales, the structural colors are brilliant iridescent, metallic, and immune to photobleaching, unlike conventional pigments or dyes. Most colloidal assembly processes mimic opal formation and produce close-packed structures from monodisperse colloidal spheres. However, living systems often involve non-close-packed ordered assemblies of anisotropic motifs (such as plates and rods), thereby exhibiting significantly more complex structural color responses, including strong angular dependence and polarization effects. Since it is expected that photonic structures ma...
