Extended Data Fig. 2: FFT analysis of a simulated DNA-functionalized decahedron DDQC.

FFT results calculated from (a) a slab and (b) a whole sample. (c, d) Side view of the whole DDQC sample from different orientations. This sample is the same sample with Fig. 2g, and each sphere represents the centre of a decahedron. The FFT pattern in (a) was calculated from a slab in the purple-dashed box in (c). The FFT pattern in (b) was calculated from a whole sample, and it shows line-like features (red arrows) together with dominant peaks. It is attributed to the existence of a subdomain in the black-dashed box whose 12-fold symmetry is slightly rotated from the overall 12-fold symmetry.
