Abstract
We consider evolution of matter from isolated nanocrystals to quantum dot solids and from microcavities to photonic solids. A possibility of simultaneous electron and photon confinement in mesoscopic structures is considered, e.g. quantum dot in a micro- cavity and quantum dot in a photonic crystal. Colloidal crystals with self-organisation on nanometer to micrometer scale are shown as the suitable mesoscopic structures to trace these effects experimentally and to design artificial matter with engineering of optical and electronic properties.
