ABSTRACT

In this contribution we report on the synthesis and characterisation of ferroelectric three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3-DOM) thin films for application as tunable and switchable photonic crystals. The films are formed on conducting substrates using a colloidal crystal templating technique, which allows controlled variation of pore size and lattice spacing. The structure and properties of the thin films produced by infiltration of colloidal crystal templates using a sol-gel precursor for the ferroelectric perovskite Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) are reported.
