Quantitatively Predicting Angle‐Resolved Polarized Raman Intensity of Anisotropic Layered Materials
This study develops comprehensive methodologies to predict angle‐resolved polarized Raman (ARPR) intensity profiles of anisotropic layered materials (ALMs), spanning from atomically‐thin layers to bulk limit. By considering birefringence, linear dichroism and multilayer interference, the complex refractive indexes and intrinsic Raman tensors are ...

A chiral self‐assembly of achiral porphyrin molecules is presented on the surfaces of achiral carbon nanotubes, and the obvious optical activity is observed as direct and solid spectroscopic evidence. The findings provide an effective carbon nanotube‐templated strategy for inducing and manipulating the chiral self‐assembly of porphyrin and other chiral/
