This image shows three-dimensional photonic crystals based on
bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3), a promising multiferroic material. The
foreground shows a 3D model of a photonic crystal. The background
shows a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photograph of the actual
sample. The two images were combined and processed using Adobe
Photoshop. The related work was recently published in Journal of
Materials Chemistry, DOI: 10.1039/C3TC30335G.
