  • Photonic balls containing a microstructure of core-shell particles exhibiting angularly-independent structural color
    Patent number: 9541674
    Abstract: A photonic assembly for observing a preselected color includes an assembly of colloidal particles in a continuous liquid phase, the colloidal particles comprising a core scattering center and a shell layer surrounding the core, wherein the core scattering center is selected to scatter light having a predetermined wavelength, and wherein the shell has a thickness selected to provide an overall colloidal particle size that is about the same dimension as the wavelength of preselected color to be observed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2017
    Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: Vinothan Manoharan, Sofia Magkiriadou, Jin-Gyu Park
