text: An experimental analysis of the morphology changes of hexagonally close packed
polystyrene sphere monolayers induced by annealing in air is presented. The triangular
interstices between each triple of spheres, which are frequently used as nanoscale
mask openings in colloidal lithography, are observed to gradually shrink in size
and change in shape upon annealing. Top view scanning electron microscopy images
reveal that different stages are involved in the closure of monolayer interstices
at annealing temperatures in the range between 110°C and 120°C. In the early stages
shrinkage of the triangular interstices is dominated by material transport to
and thus shortening of their corners, in the late stages interstice area reduction
via displacement of the triangle edges becomes significant. At intermediate annealing
times the rate of interstice area reduction displays a maximum before a stabilized
state characterized by a rounded isosceles triangular shape forms.
