Geometric mechanisms enabling spin- and enantio-sensitive observables in one photon ionization of chiral molecules

Philip Caesar M. Flores, Stefanos Carlström, Serguei Patchkovskii +3

We examine spin-resolved photoionization of randomly oriented chiral molecules via circularly polarized light, and revisit earlier predictions of Cherepkov (J. Phys. B: Atom. Mol.…

Geometry of chiral temporal structures II: The formalism

Aycke Roos, Pablo M. Maier, Andres F. Ordonez +1

We develop a mathematical formalism underlying the emergence of enantio-sensitive molecular orientation due to photoionization or photoexitation of chiral molecules. We consider ge…

Spin-current correlations in photoionization of chiral molecules

Philip Caesar M. Flores, Stefanos Carlström, Serguei Patchkovskii +3

Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) refers to phenomena where molecular chirality governs spin polarization. While symmetry simply requires chiral molecules to support spin-v…

Enantiosensitive molecular compass

Philip Caesar M. Flores, Stefanos Carlström, Serguei Patchkovskii +4

Chirality describes the asymmetry between an object and its mirror image and underlies diverse functionalities across molecular, mesoscopic and bulk matter. A particularly intrigui…

Propensity rules for photoelectron circular dichroism in strong field ionization of chiral molecules

Andres F. Ordonez, Olga Smirnova

Chiral molecules ionized by circularly polarized fields produce a photoelectron current orthogonal to the polarization plane. This current has opposite directions for opposite enan…
