title = "Replica of the structural color for Papilio blumei butterfly",
abstract = "Although the physics of structural color has been investigated, it remains a challenge to create artificial replicas of the natural photonic crystal structure. The concave multilayer replica of Papilio blumei butterflies is successfully fabricated by the following three main steps: self assembly of polystyrene spheres, deposition using an electron-beam gun, and inductively coupled plasma etching. The green iridescence of the wings of P. blumei is successfully reproduced.",

note = "Funding Information: C. C. Lee and S. H. Chen proposed the idea, the overall scope and discussions during the process of this research. M. L. Lo and W. H. Li designed and fabricated the concave multilayer of butterfly wing. Besides, they measured and characterized the most of the properties of butterfly and replica. S. Z. Tseng was responsible for ICP etching and SEM images of butterfly. C. H. Chan offered synthesized polystyrene spheres. The financial supports by the National Science Council, Taiwan, under Contract No. 099-2221-E-008-046-MY3 and Ministry of Education, Taiwan, are appreciated.",
