X-ray nanotomography reveals formation of single diamonds by block copolymer self-assembly
Kenza Djeghdi, Dmitry Karpov, S. Narjes Abdollahi +14
Block copolymers are recognised as a valuable platform for creating nanostructured materials with unique properties. Morphologies formed by block copolymer self-assembly can be tra…
High-resolution three-dimensional imaging of topological textures in single-diamond networks
Dmitry Karpov, Kenza Djeghdi, Mirko Holler +14
Highly periodic structures are often said to convey the beauty of nature. However, most material properties are strongly influenced by the defects they contain. On the mesoscopic s…
3D tomographic analysis of the order-disorder interplay in the Pachyrhynchus congestus mirabilis weevil
Kenza Djeghdi, Ullrich Steiner, Bodo D. Wilts
The bright colors of Pachyrhynchus weevils originate from complex dielectric nanostructures within their elytral scales. In contrast to previous work exhibiting highly ordered sing…
Enhancing the Refractive Index of Polymers with a Plant-Based Pigment
Mohammad Yasir, Tianqi Sai, Alba Sicher +4
Polymeric materials are prized for their formability, low density, and functional versatility. However, the refractive indices of common polymers fall in a relatively narrow range…
Strong Circular Dichroism in Single Gyroid Optical Metamaterials
Cédric Kilchoer, Narjes Abdollahi, James A. Dolan +6
Over the past two decades, metamaterials have led to an increasing number of biosensing and nanophotonic applications due to the possibility of a careful control of light propagati…
Designing Refractive Index Fluids using the Kramers-Kronig Relations
Tianqi Sai, Matthias Saba, Eric R. Dufresne +2
For a number of optical applications, it is advantageous to precisely tune the refractive index of a liquid. Here, we harness a well-established concept in optics for this purpose.…
Self-Rolled Multilayer Metasurfaces
Esteban Bermúdez-Ureña, Ullrich Steiner
Multilayer metasurfaces (MLMs) represent a versatile type of three-dimensional optical metamaterials that could enable ultra-thin and multi-functional photonic components. Herein w…
Surface Reconstruction Limited Conductivity in Block-Copolymer Li Battery Electrolytes
Preston Sutton, Peter Bennington, Shrayesh N. Patel +5
Solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries promise improvements in safety and energy density if their conductivity can be increased. Nanostructured block copolymer electrolyt…
Halogen-Bond Driven Self-Assembly of Perfluorocarbon Monolayers
Antonio Abate, Raphael Dehmel, Alessandro Sepe +7
The self-assembly of a single layer of organic molecules on a substrate is a powerful strategy to modify surfaces and interfacial properties. The detailed interplay of molecule-to-…
Porous translucent electrodes enhance current generation from photosynthetic biofilms
Tobias Wenzel, Daniel Haertter, Paolo Bombelli +2
We tested the enhancement of electrical current generated from photosynthetically active bacteria by use of electrodes with porosity on the nano- and micrometer length-scale. For t…
