Abstract

A simple method of depositing wide array of monolayers of 1 μm micron sized polystyrene latex particles using spin coating is presented. By comparing the results obtained on silicon (100) substrates and thermal oxide covered silicon, it was noticed that the oxide led to a marked increase in the area of monolayer array. Magnetic nanostructures were formed by deposition of a nickel layer followed by subsequent lift-off. Magnetic force microscopy results were discussed
