  Arrays of nanoparticles exploited in light scattering applications commonly
only feature either a periodic or a rather random arrangement of its
constituents. For the periodic case, light scattering is mostly governed by the
strong spatial correlations of the arrangement, expressed by the structure
factor. For the random case, structural correlations cancel each other out and
light scattering is mostly governed by the scattering properties of the
individual scatterer, expressed by the form factor. In contrast to these
extreme cases, we show here, for the first time, that hyperuniform disorder in
self-organized large-area arrays of high refractive index nanodisks enables
both structure and form factor to impact the resulting scattering pattern,
offering novel means to tailor light scattering. The scattering response from
our nearly hyperuniform interfaces can be exploited in a large variety of
applications and constitutes a novel class of advanced optical materials.
