From rings to resonance: an inverse method links biophotonic structural color to inverse photonic glasses
Florin Hemmann, Matthias Saba, Ullrich Steiner +2
Structural color arises from the interaction of light with nanoscale structures and is widespread in nature. As structural complexity increases, the mechanisms governing coloration…

Scalable Size- and Shape-Selective Purification of Colloidal Building Blocks via Excluded Volume Interactions
Thomas Kainz, Isobel McSweeney, Andrei-Micea Top +4
Excluded-volume interactions, arising solely from steric constraints, play a crucial role in determining the structure, dynamics, and phase behaviour of colloidal suspensions. This…

Termination-Driven Control over BIC Q-Factors and Frequencies in Plasmonic Double Net Metamaterials
Cedric Schumacher, Bilel Abdennadher, Ullrich Steiner +1
Interlaced metallic wire meshes are 3D metamaterials consisting of two intertwined metallic networks. These plasmonic double nets give rise to otherwise unobserved longitudinal, we…
