Notes:
Convective self-assembly of colloidal spheres provides a simple method for fabricatingtwo and three dimensional colloidal crystals. In this work, we investigated the layer transitionsphenomena during colloidal self-assembly in a sessile drop by using an in-situ videoscopic set-up.The effects of surface charge, colloidal concentration, and surfactant additions were examined. Theresults show that the chemical environment plays an important role in colloidal self-assembly. Inthe case of ordered growth, different layer transition phenomena were observed when the colloidalconcentration is different
