Graphical Abstract

Surface replication: Three-dimensional ordered colloidal crystals are used as templates in creating surface gratings from a large variety of functional materials, such as metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics, provided that the material deposition only occurs on the periodic surfaces of the templates. By this nonlithographic technique wafer-scale samples with submicron periodicity can be rapidly created (see picture).
