Main Results:

  • Multilayer transparency decreases exponentially with porosity.
  • Thickness is proportional to adsorption cycles; roughness increases asymptotically.
  • Specific surface area shows oscillatory variations with distance from the substrate, influenced by surface coverage.

Conclusions:

  • Film characteristics are controllable via preparation methods (surface coverage, deposition time).
  • Results provide insights for designing colloidal multilayers with tailored properties.
