Disordered structures with short-range correlation exhibit unique photonic or thermal properties, often arising from the self-assembly of monodisperse microspheres. Colloidal clusters, aggregates a defined number microspheres, have anisotropic shapes and offer approach to tailor compared traditional isotropic However, this potential remains largely unexplored. To end, we prepared triangular tetrahedral colloidal clusters coassemble them polystyrene microspheres into both monolayers thick films (∼10 μm) over 5 mm × areas. Through combining scanning electron microscopy images laser scattering measurements, show that increasing cluster concentration 0% 40% increases disorder in thin films. Beyond 40%, order plateaus, while it but decreases The distinct roles new insights design correlated disordered materials for novel applications.
