Kinetomagnetism of chirality and its applications
arXiv:2408.07179 · doi:10.1063/5.0198953
Abstract
Chiral functionalities exhibited by systems lacking any mirror symmetry encompass natural optical activity, magnetochiral effect, diagonal current-induced magnetization, chirality-selective spin-polarized current of charged electrons or neutral neutrons, self-inductance, and chiral phonons. These phenomena are unified under the hypothesis of kinetomagnetism of chirality, which posits that any moving (charged or neutral) object in chiral systems induces magnetization in its direction of motion, consequently imparting chirality to the object due to this induced magnetization. We also found conjugate relationships among the kinetomagnetism of chirality, linear magnetoelectricity, and electric field induced directional nonreciprocity, highlighting their interconnections with magnetic, electric, and toroidal orders. The concept of the kinetomagnetism of chirality will be an essential basis for the theoretical understanding of known chiral phenomena such as natural optical activity or chiral phonons, and also the discovery of unexplored chiral functionalities.
