磁流体中非磁纳米结构的磁组装及其在光子晶体显示中的应用 葛建平*，， 同济大学化学系，， *Email: gejianping09@tongji.edu.cn 基于“磁空穴”的磁相互作用，磁流体中的非磁纳米结构在外磁场的作用下，能形成有序的光子晶体结构。当外磁场撤去后，纳米颗粒会恢复到无序的布朗运动状态。这种磁组装机理可以通过“相分离”与“胶体组装”两种同步过程加以解释。这项工作的创新之处在于引入更大尺寸的非磁纳米颗粒，通过光子晶体的二级衍射，产生可见的结构色信号。结构基元尺寸的增大，极大地增强了它们之间的磁相互作用，有效降低了该体系对外场强度以及磁流体浓度的要求，并将响应时间缩短至1秒内，为光子晶体显示单元的开发奠定了基础。 Fig. 1 The assembly process of nonmagnetic photonic structures in a ferrofluid. 关键词：磁流体；非磁；光子晶体；显示 参考文献 [1] Liu, J.; Mao, Y.

The mechanism of assembly can be explained by two simultaneous processes: phase separation and colloids assembly. In this work, increasing the size of building blocks still produces colorful photonic crystals due to their 2nd order diffraction. With a larger size building block, the magnetic response between polymer colloids is greatly enhanced, so that an instant and reversible assembly/deassembly can be realized in a much weaker magnetic field and lower ferrofluid concentration. Based on these investigations, a magnetically controlled photonic display unit was fabricated, which works in a weak magnetic field, has stable reflection signals and possesses fast and reversible on/off switching of reflections.
