PROCESS FOR PRODUCING NANOPARTICLE MONOLAYERS

摘要

There is provided a method that can curtail the time for forming a particle layer and that can permit the production of a nanoparticle monolayer having stable optical characteristics at a high coating ratio and homogeneity in a reproducible and an efficient manner. In the formation of the nanoparticle monolayer on a substrate, said substrate is immersed as the anode or cathode together with an opposite electrode of the cathode or anode in a solution in which nanoparticles are suspended in a dispersion medium, and then a direct-current voltage is applied to electrophoretically deposit the nanoparticle monolayer on said substrate.
