Photonic structure arrays generated using butterfly wing scales as biological units

We report an effective process to transfer the scales of Morpho butterflies onto various substrates. Based on the difference in binding strength between molecular interactions and chemical bonds, this method provides photonic structure arrays with biological units, which are difficult to obtain othe...

Zusammenfassung:We report an effective process to transfer the scales of Morpho butterflies onto various substrates. Based on the difference in binding strength between molecular interactions and chemical bonds, this method provides photonic structure arrays with biological units, which are difficult to obtain otherwise.
