Significance

In this article, we derive a set of design principles for making photonic crystals with desired photonic stopband properties by taking advantage of spacer group, a design parameter enabled by recent advances in bottom-up assembly processes. The concept of spacer groups is experimentally realized through DNA-programmable assembly of Au nanoparticles, showing that highly reflective structures can be generated with cubic lattices and flexible spacer groups that can enable lighter and more compact 3D photonic crystals with precisely designed and even reconfigurable photonic properties. It also allows one to explore the combined effects of both photonic bandgap and the plasmonic properties of NPs, which may prove useful in fields spanning plasmonic cavity structures, optical nanocircuits, subwavelength imaging, and low-loss metamaterials.
