The single-step synthesis of a DNA tetrahedron.

Chem Commun (Camb) (2004) 1372-1373

Authors:

Russell P Goodman, Richard M Berry, Andrew J Turberfield

Abstract:

A tetrahedral nanostructure whose edges are DNA double helices self-assembles spontaneously when four appropriately designed oligonucleotides are annealed together in solution; the ease of synthesis, rigidity, and adaptability of this construct make it a promising candidate as a cage for other large molecules and as a building block for more complicated nanostructures.

Holographic photonic crystals with diamond symmetry

Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics 68:20 (2003)

Authors:

DN Sharp, AJ Turberfield, RG Denning

Abstract:

We explore the analytical design of high-symmetry photonic crystals made by holographic lithography. We show how holographic lithography may be used to produce diamond-like photonic crystals that have a full, three-dimensional photonic band gap at a refractive index contrast equal to the lowest yet published. © 2003 The American Physical Society.
