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.
