PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a colloidal crystal having structure excellent in three- dimensional uniformity to be formed.;SOLUTION: Colloidal crystals having structure excellent in three-dimensional uniformity are formed by giving shearing flow to a monodispersive particle solution in which particle density by volume percentage is between 5 and 70% and which is in colloidal crystalline state, and successively making the monodispersive particle solution flow in a uniaxial direction 3 in parallel to a substrate surface in a space held between two smooth substrate surfaces 11a, 11b facing each other in parallel and then making the solution stand still.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
