Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. The preparation of structured materials with a controlled density of defects is becoming important for their applications as photonic crystals. 2D-colloidal crystals have been prepared through the assembly of charged colloidal particles by application of electric fields. The domain size of such structures has been determined by studying the influence of relevant experimental parameters.
