| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Self-assembled two-dimensional (2D) arrays of charged nanospheres with diameters of 100 to 500 nm were prepared on various substrates such as a glass and plastics, as a template for plasmonic nanostructures. Formation of an aluminum (Al) layer on the template structure resulted in complicated 2D Al nanostructure, that is a hole array topped with Al centroclinals. When a white light was illuminated on these structures, specific wavelength of light was resonantly absorbed in the metal structure, and its complementary color was expressed. The expressed structural color changed according to the change in diameter and periodicities of nanospheres.
Up to eight structural colors were simultaneously printed on a substrate via single aluminum evaporation process. The structural colors gained resistivity against scratch and bending by protecting them with a transparent hard layer.
