Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
A method for rapidly preparing photonic crystals by low-pressure auxiliary evaporation is shown in figure 1, and comprises the following steps:
step 100, the substrate is subjected to wettability treatment in advance to enhance hydrophilicity, so that the colloid liquid drops spread on the substrate as much as possible.
In the present invention, the substrate can be selected from various flat solids, as long as the surface of the substrate is smooth, such as latex, PDMS, metal, glass, and other solid materials.
The substrate can be subjected to wettability treatment by a surface plasma sputtering method, the surface plasma sputtering method is suitable for various solid substrates, and the substrates made of various materials can be subjected to wettability treatment by the surface plasma sputtering method.
The substrate is processed with wettability to reduce the contact angle between water and the substrate as much as possible, and the contact angles of colloid liquid drops with different concentrations are different, and the contact angle requirement is smaller when the concentration is higher. The contact angle of the colloidal droplet with the substrate generally needs to be reduced to below 30 °, preferably below 10 °.
And 200, slowly dripping the colloid liquid drops dispersed with the microsphere particles on the substrate after the wettability treatment, and forming a gas-liquid interface between the colloid liquid drops on the substrate and air.
In one embodiment, the present invention may also enable the preparation of different types of photonic crystals by varying the concentration of colloidal droplets and/or the diameter of the microspheroidal particles.
The concentration of the colloid liquid drop is generally selected to be 2-6 wt%, and the diameter range of the microsphere particle is generally selected to be 170-1000 nm.
And 300, placing the substrate covered with the colloid drops in a vacuum tank with controllable pressure.
In one embodiment, a vacuum pump may be used to adjust the pressure inside the vacuum tank, and the vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum tank to control the evaporation rate by adjusting the pressure inside the vacuum tank. The evaporation rate is related to the pressure inside the vacuum tank, the lower the pressure inside the vacuum tank the higher the evaporation rate.
Step 400, adjusting the pressure in the vacuum tank to reduce the pressure to below 0.2atm, so that the height of the gas-liquid interface of the rapid evaporation of the colloid liquid drops is reduced along with the evaporation, the colloid liquid drops are gradually soaked, and then the ordered photonic crystals are formed on the gas-liquid interface and spread on the substrate.
In the process that the pressure is reduced to be below 0.2atm, the colloid drops are quickly evaporated, the height of a gas-liquid interface is quickly reduced along with the evaporation, as shown in figure 2, the colloid drops form small drops, a large number of particles are captured by the gas-liquid interface, the gas-liquid interface is assembled into ordered photonic crystals, and the ordered photonic crystals are spread on a substrate along with the soaking removal process. And (4) shifting an air valve switch on the vacuum pump, and easily opening the vacuum tank after the internal pressure and the external pressure of the vacuum pump are consistent to finish the preparation of the photonic crystal.
In one embodiment, the pressure is decreased for as long as possible within 10S, and the vacuum pump pumping rate is selected according to the volume of the vacuum tank within 10S to adjust the pressure in the vacuum tank to be reduced to below 0.2atm, so as to reduce the coffee ring effect.
The pressure is directly related to the formation of the final photonic crystal, and the lower the pressure, the higher the evaporation efficiency and the shorter the evaporation time. Generally, the pressure drops below 0.2atm, and a photonic crystal can be formed. The pressure drop can be realized in two ways: and when the pressure is reduced to a certain pressure value below 0.2atm, keeping the pressure in the vacuum tank unchanged, and waiting for the photonic crystal to form. The second method comprises the following steps: after the pressure is reduced to 0.2atm, the pressure in the vacuum tank is continuously reduced until the photonic crystals are completely formed, and the pressure is stopped to be reduced.

The vacuum pump was turned on to reduce the pressure in the vacuum tank to 0.01atm, and then the vacuum pump was turned off to maintain the pressure in the vacuum tank at 0.01 atm. Within a few tens of seconds, after the colloidal droplets evaporated, the ordered arrangement of photonic crystals spread out on the glass substrate, and the final prepared photonic crystal sample is shown in fig. 4.
