Abstract
A method of forming a particle film on a surface of a solid or liquid substrate involves contacting the substrate, in the presence of a gas, with a liquid medium containing a plurality of particles suspended therein. A liquid meniscus is thereby formed between the substrate and the gas. An edge of the liquid meniscus is moved relative to the substrate, so that said particles in the liquid medium form the particle film on the surface of the substrate.
