3-D Visualization of Templated Block Copolymer

Caption

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) tomography provides a nanoscale, 3-D visualization of the structure of a templated block copolymer. The purple features are silica posts fabricated by electron-beam lithography that direct the self-assembly of the copolymer. The material self-assembles to form two orthogonal layers of cylinders (green).
