Abstract

Three‐tier spherical photonic crystals with multiscale tailorable structures are fabricated via droplet confined colloid assembly and metal film dewetting method, showing tunable optical properties of photonic stop band and surface plasmon resonance. Their dual‐tunability in optical properties achieved by the 2nd‐tier silica nanoparticle patterns and the 3rd‐tier plasmonic Au nanocrystal arrays, enables the application for constructing flexible anticounterfeiting films.
