Observation of local chiral-symmetry breaking in globally centrosymmetric crystals

S. Di Matteo, Y. Joly, A. Bombardi +3

A thorough tensor analysis of the Bragg-forbidden reflection (00.3)${}_h$ in corundum systems having a global center of inversion, like V${}_2$O${}_3$ and $\alpha$-Fe${}_2$O${}_3$, shows that ano…
