Synthesis of chiral TiO2 nanofibre with electron transition-based optical activity [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2012
The optical chirality induced at the absorption bands due to electronic exciton coupling of the transition dipole moments between chromophores in close proximity is ubiquitous in helical organic materials. However, inorganic materials with optical activity resulting from electronic transitions have not been explored.
