Abstract: The authors investigated the growth dynamics of microparticles of silicon dioxide to determine the optimal time of the formation of microspheres for further synthesis of photonic crystals. The obtained results were compared with the well known published data.

Keywords: photonic crystal, colloidal suspension, silicon dioxide microspheres.
