FILMS WITH VARIABLE ANGLE OF VIEW MADE FROM CRYSTALLINE COLLOIDAL ALLOYS

摘要

FIELD: physics.SUBSTANCE: radiation diffracting film has a viewing surface and an ordered periodic array of particles embedded in the material of the array. The array of particles has a crystalline structure, having (i) a plurality of first crystal planes of said particles that diffract infrared radiation, where said first crystal planes are parallel to said viewing plane; and (ii) a plurality of second crystal planes of said particles that diffract visible radiation. When the film is turned about an axis perpendicular to the viewing surface and at a constant viewing angle of said film, visible radiation with the same wavelength is reflected from the second crystal planes with intervals equal to about 60°.EFFECT: designing a film for authenticating or identifying an object.23 cl, 5 dwg
