Emergent symmetries in block copolymer epitaxy
The directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) has shown great promise in fabricating customized two-dimensional (2D) geometries at the nano- and mesoscale. Here, the authors report the discovery of spontaneous symmetry breaking and superlattice formation in DSA of BCP.
