Inverse Mopho butterfly: a new approach to photonic crystal.

J Nanosci Nanotechnol

Key Laboratory of Molecular and Biomolecular Electronics, Southeast University, Nanjing, P R China.

Published: April 2006

In this paper we showed a new approach for the fabrication of a photonic crystal with a three-dimensional structure. By replicating biomaterials such as the wing of Mopho butterfly with TiO2 nanoparticles using the nanoparticles infiltration method, we can derive photonic crystals with unique structures, which is difficult to fabricate by other approaches. New optical properties are anticipated.
