Fig. 6: Arrays with different spatial distributions of left- and right-handed structures.
a,b, Design (a) and CD images (b) of arrays with a changing ratio between left- and right-handed nanostructures. c, Dots and line: averaged CD signal of the areas of the arrays shown in a and linear fit (R2 = 0.99; left y axis). Bars, percentage of the area of array measured with a left-handed (green) or right-handed (purple) signal (right y axis). d,e, Design (d) and CD images (e) of arrays with increasing disorder in the distribution of left- and right-handed structures. All the arrays have 50% left-handed and 50% right-handed structures. f, Dots and line: averaged CD signal of the areas of the arrays shown in c and line showing the average value of all arrays (left y axis). Bars, percentage of the area of array measured with a left-handed (green) or right-handed (purple) signal (right y axis). The measurements here were performed at a wavelength of 720 nm. Scale bar, 50 μm.
