X-ray Crystallography

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Background:

3D phononic crystals (PnCs) are crucial for controlling phononic waves, with complete phononic bandgaps (PnBG) enabling omnidirectional wave inhibition.
Achieving high-frequency PnBGs is challenging due to fabrication difficulties in creating mesoscale 3D crystals with continuous frames.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a novel DNA origami-designed 3D crystal as a hypersonic phononic crystal.
To demonstrate the fabrication of mesoscale 3D crystals with continuous frames using DNA origami.
To achieve the widest complete phononic bandgap (PnBG) in the hypersonic regime.

Main Methods:

Utilizing DNA origami crystallization to design and fabricate mesoscale 3D crystals.
Programming the lattice symmetry of the DNA origami crystals for optimal phononic bandgap widening.
Applying conformal silicification to enhance the rigidity of the DNA origami-based 3D crystals.

Main Results:

The DNA origami-designed 3D crystal serves as a hypersonic 3D PnC.
The fabrication method enables the realization of continuous frame 3D crystals at the mesoscale.
The designed PnC exhibits the widest complete phononic bandgap (PnBG) achieved to date.

Conclusions:

DNA origami offers a viable route for fabricating mesoscale 3D phononic crystals.
Molecular programming of lattice symmetry and controlled silicification are key to optimizing PnBG.
This approach provides a blueprint for designing 3D PnCs with superior hypersonic PnBG performance.
