3-D Chiral Photonic Crystals Replicated from Butterfly Wing Scales
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 March 2012
Abstract
Three dimensional silica photonic crystals with the gyroid minimal surface structure have been synthesized using the butterfly Callophrys rubi as a template. The replicas are synthesized with a high degree of fidelity, which is confirmed by the spectral and morphological characterization. Further, the material is shown to be optically active.
