Chirality of off-center orbital rotation: comparison with lepton spin rotation

Abstract

We introduce and attach an orbital chirality to off-center ions in crystals and consider its implications. Its relationship with the spin chirality of leptons and possibly anions is also discussed. The feature may bring new meaning to the quantum mechanical vibronic effect.
