a Time-dependent variation in the absorbance of S-G (30 μM) at various volume % of IPA in CHCl3 monitored at 650 nm. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images of a 30 μM solution of S-G (b) in 15% CHCl3, (c) 10% CHCl3 and (d) 5% CHCl3 in IPA, spin-coated onto a silicon wafer. The inset of d shows the enlarged FE-SEM image of superhelices with very little branching.
