Abstract

Abstract: Rubrene inverse opal was fabricated via a silica colloidal crystal template and surface-wetting technique.Moreover,the photonic band gap of the rubrene inverse opal was successfully measured,which corresponds with the theoretical calculations.This method provides a platform for further fabrication of inverse opal structure with other organic semiconductor materials.Furthermore,the unique structural features of three-dimensional ordered macroporous may find novel optical and electrical properties.

Key words: rubrene, inverse opal, three-dimensional ordered macroporous(3DOM)
