Orientation-dependent photonic bandgaps in gold-dust weevil scales and their titania bioreplicates
The scales of the gold-dust weevil Hypomeces squamosus are green because of three-dimensional diamond-type chitin–air photonic crystals with an average periodicity of about 430 nm and a chitin fill fraction of about 0.44. A single scale usually contains one to three crystallites with different latti...
