摘要
The Bragg reflection of light from natural and synthetic opals was studied experimentally, and the samples were characterized by atomic-force microscopy. The reflection spectra were theoretically calculated within the model of a planar, periodically layered medium. A comparison of the experimental and calculated data made it possible to determine the parameters of the crystal structure of synthetic opals (lattice constants and sintering coefficients of a-SiO2 particles). It was concluded that the pores in the structure of natural opals are filled by a material with a refractive index close to that of a-SiO2.
