摘要
We predict that modified thermal emission can result from three-dimensional, self-assembled photonic crystals. In previous tungsten structures, known as inverse opals, strong absorption prevented any influence of the periodicity. We consider the origin of this effect and show how to tailor both absorption and surface coupling in experimentally realizable metallic inverse opals. Calculations for tungsten, molybdenum, and tantalum crystals show that their optical properties can be similar to or even better than the tungsten woodpile, where modified thermal emission has already been seen.
