Fabrication of Two-Dimensional Arrays

The production of 2D thin layers of particles requires much better control over the thickness of the deposit. In contrast to settling and draining setups, thin liquid film setups deposit large-area films suitable for deposition of particle monolayers. 

The use of dielectrophoretic assembly for switchable 2D photonic crystals [41] and biosensors [42] has been proposed.
