9986534ColvinThis proposal seeks to exploit the vast effort in protein crystal growth technology in the formation of mesoporous films. The use of these bio-crystals in x-ray crystallography requires essentially perfectly ordered samples, with long-range periodicity extending up to ~1 millimeter. Protein crystallographers have been successful in growing these samples for more than 1000 different proteins. Once grown, such crystals can be used as templates for a range of different materials, by adapting the templating techniques which have been demonstrated in colloidal crystals or surfactants. This will lead to the formation of nearly ideal ordered mesoporous materials, in a planar format suitable for optical applications. These materials will be excellent candidates for x-ray photonic band gap systems.***

9986534Colvinthis提案旨在利用介孔膜形成蛋白质晶体生长技术的巨大努力。 在X射线晶体学中，这些生物结晶的使用基本上需要完全有序的样品，远程周期性延长了〜1毫米。 蛋白质晶体学家已经成功地生长了1000多种不同蛋白质的样品。 生长后，通过调整在胶体晶体或表面活性剂中已证明的模板技术，可以将这些晶体用作一系列不同材料的模板。 这将导致以适合光学应用的平面格式形成几乎理想的有序中孔材料。 这些材料将是X射线光子带隙系统的出色候选者。***
