Programmed Self‐Assembly of Single Colloidal Gyroids for Chiral Photonic Crystals (Adv. Mater. 23/2023)

Colloidal Self Assembly In article number 2211197, Dwaipayan Chakrabarti and co‐workers report on the self‐assembly of enantiomorphic single colloidal gyroid crystals in silico from designer chiral patchy spheres. Each of these crystals is shown to support a complete photonic bandgap, whilst also ex...

Summary:Colloidal Self Assembly In article number 2211197, Dwaipayan Chakrabarti and co‐workers report on the self‐assembly of enantiomorphic single colloidal gyroid crystals in silico from designer chiral patchy spheres. Each of these crystals is shown to support a complete photonic bandgap, whilst also exhibiting rich chiroptical properties. This computational study introduces single colloidal gyroids as attractive targets for chiral photonic crystals operating at optical frequencies. Image credit: Wesley Flavell.
