Abstract:
The reversible variation in the observed stop band of a hydrogel-encapsulated crystalline colloidal array was achieved through the selective formation and destruction of -S-Pb-S- linkages within the hydrogel. A reversible 45 nm stop band shift could be achieved with a cyclical treatment of Pb(2+) and then dithiothreitol solution.
