Surface functionalized spherical nanoparticles: an optical assessment of local chirality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Electromagnetic radiation propagating through any molecular system typically experiences a characteristic change in its polarization state as a result of light-matter interaction.

Linearly polarized probes of surface chirality [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 1995
We present a new nonlinear optical technique to study surface chirality. We demonstrate experimentally that the efficiency of second-harmonic generation from isotropic chiral surfaces is different for excitation with fundamental light that is +45° and −45° linearly polarized with respect to the p-polarized direction.

Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Linearly Dichroic Plasmonic Lens and Hetero-Chiral Structures

open access: yes, 2014
We present theoretical and experimental study of plasmonic Hetero-Chiral structures, comprised of constituents with opposite chirality. We devise, simulate and experimentally demonstrate different schemes featuring selective surface plasmon polariton ...

Chirality at the Nanoparticle Surface: Functionalization and Applications

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Chiral molecules, such as amino acids and carbohydrates, are the building blocks of nature. As a consequence, most natural supramolecular structures, such as enzymes and receptors, are able to distinguish among different orientations in space of ...

Spectrally Tunable 2D Material‐Based Infrared Photodetectors for Intelligent Optoelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intelligent optoelectronics through spectral engineering of 2D material‐based infrared photodetectors. Abstract The evolution of intelligent optoelectronic systems is driven by artificial intelligence (AI). However, their practical realization hinges on the ability to dynamically capture and process optical signals across a broad infrared (IR) spectrum.

On F-theory E_6 GUTs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We approach the Minimum Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) from an E_6 GUT by using the spectral cover construction and non-abelian gauge fluxes in F-theory. We start with an E_6 singularity unfolded from an E_8 singularity and obtain E_6 GUTs by using

Expression and Amplification of Chirality in Two-Dimensional Molecular Crystals

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2008
Chirality can be bestowed onto achiral surfaces by adsorption of chiral molecules. This offers a good opportunity to study two-dimensional chiral crystallization phenomena, like lateral resolution of enantiomers or the transfer of handedness ...

Chirality inversion of Majorana edge modes in a Fu–Kane heterostructure

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2021
Fu and Kane have discovered that a topological insulator with induced s -wave superconductivity (gap Δ _0 , Fermi velocity v _F , Fermi energy μ ) supports chiral Majorana modes propagating on the surface along the edge with a magnetic insulator. We show
