A large-area hexagonal packed monolayer of silica spheres with consistent defect-free domains of a size larger than 3000μm 2 was prepared by spin coating on glass substrates with the assistance of experimental design and statistical analysis. The ratio of the defect-free monolayer area to the square of sphere diameter is nearly two times of the previously reported maximum values. Several parameters...
