Description:
Large three-dimensional photonic crystals based on monocrystalline liquid crystal blue phases Nature Communications, Published online: 28 September 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-00822-y Conventional fabrication approaches for large-size three-dimensional photonic crystals are problematic. By properly controlling the self-assembly processes, the authors report the fabrication of monocrystalline blue phase liquid crystals that exhibit three-dimensional photonic-crystalline properties.
