--- _id: '13917' abstract: - lang: eng text: We present the synthesis of indium oxide (In2O3) inverse opal films with photonic stop bands in the visible range by a structure replication method. Artificial opal films made of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres are utilized as template. The opal films are deposited via sedimentation facilitated by ultrasonication, and then impregnated by indium nitrate solution, which is thermally converted to In2O3 after drying. The quality of the resulting inverse opal film depends on many parameters; in this study the water content of the indium nitrate/PMMA composite after drying is investigated. Comparison of the reflectance spectra recorded by vis-spectroscopy with simulated data shows a good agreement between the peak position and calculated stop band positions for the inverse opals. This synthesis is less complex and highly efficient compared to most other techniques and is suitable for use in many applications. author: - first_name: Sabrina full_name: Amrehn, Sabrina last_name: Amrehn - first_name: Daniel full_name: Berghoff, Daniel id: '38175' last_name: Berghoff - first_name: Andreas full_name: Nikitin, Andreas last_name: Nikitin - first_name: Matthias full_name: Reichelt, Matthias id: '138' last_name: Reichelt - first_name: Xia full_name: Wu, Xia last_name: Wu - first_name: Torsten full_name: Meier, Torsten id: '344' last_name: Meier orcid: 0000-0001-8864-2072 - first_name: Thorsten full_name: Wagner, Thorsten last_name: Wagner citation: ama: Amrehn S, Berghoff D, Nikitin A, et al.
