Abstract

Inverse diamond lattice is a potential photonic crystal that was predicted to show one of the widest and most robust photonic band gaps. We designed DNA origami-based self-assembling tetrapod structures which crystalize into an inverse diamond lattice with a periodicity of 170 nm. After chemically depositing silica and titania on the diamond structure we observe tunable reflection bands in the UV which are in good agreement with theoretical predictions of photonic properties of the system.
