Metallic Butterfly Wing Scales: Superstructures with High Surface-Enhancement Properties for Optical Applications

by Jiajun Gu, Yongwen Tan, Di Zhang

This book presents a method for replicating natural butterfly wing scales using a variety of metals for state-of-the-art applications requiring high surface-enhancement properties. During the past decade, three dimensional (3D) sub-micrometer structures have attracted considerable attention for optical applications. These 3D subwavelength metallic structures are, however, difficult to prepare. By contrast, the 3D superstructures of butterfly wing...
