Accelerated annealing of colloidal crystal monolayers by means of cyclically applied electric fields

Abstract External fields are commonly applied to accelerate colloidal crystallization; however, accelerated self-assembly kinetics can negatively impact the quality of crystal structures. We show that cyclically applied electric fields can produce high quality colloidal crystals by annealing local d...
