Under proper conditions, small particles may be suspended in a regularly-spaced array called a Coulomb crystal. In this paper we discuss the application of this phenomenon to the self-assembly of nanoparticles in a lattice-lie array on a substrate. Issues associated with depositing the particles, and the size and lattice spacing of the particles are discussed.
