Chiral Vector Beams for Topological Enantio-Sensitive Imaging

A. Rodriguez, J. Edginton, A. Löhr +7

Molecular chiral discrimination is vital across chemistry and life sciences, yet optical approaches remain highly inefficient for small organic molecules. Here we turn vector beams…

Photonic architectures for synthetic chiral light-driven chiral sensing

Alexander Löhr, Justas Terentjevas, Patricia Vindel-Zandbergen +6

Molecular chirality gives rise to left- and right-handed enantiomers whose balance underpins biochemical function. Deviations from this enantiomeric excess are promising biomarkers…

Chiral Temporal Structures in Molecular Rotational Dynamics

A. G. Löhr, O. Smirnova, M. Mirahmadi

We introduce chiral rotational wavepackets: coherent superpositions of a few low-lying rotational states of a molecule for which the expectation value of a molecular axis traces a…

Topologically protected chiral sensing using Synthetic Chiral Light

Gefei Li, Justas Terentjevas, Yong Zhang +13

Chirality underlies molecular function in living matter, yet its optical detection remains challenging because conventional chiroptical spectroscopies rely on weak corrections to t…

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…

Geometry of chiral temporal structures I: Physical effects

Andres F. Ordonez, Aycke Roos, Pablo M. Maier +3

In non-relativistic physics, the concepts of geometry and topology are usually applied to characterize spatial structures or structures in momentum space. We introduce the concept…

Ultrafast TACOS -- Terahertz-Assisted Chiro-Optical Spectroscopy

Justas Terentjevas, Patricia Vindel-Zandbergen, Laura Rego +4

We bring together the advantages of terahertz (THz) and optical spectroscopies to introduce TACOS (Terahertz-Assisted Chiro-Optical Spectroscopy), a novel approach for ultrafast an…

Opportunities for Gas-Phase Science at Short-Wavelength Free-Electron Lasers with Undulator-Based Polarization Control

Markus Ilchen, Enrico Allaria, Primož Rebernik Ribič +44

Free-electron lasers (FELs) are the world's most brilliant light sources with rapidly evolving technological capabilities in terms of ultrabright and ultrashort pulses over a large…

Capturing electron-driven chiral dynamics in UV-excited molecules

Vincent Wanie, Etienne Bloch, Erik P. Månsson +13

Molecular chirality is a key design property for many technologies including bioresponsive imaging, circularly polarized light detection and emission, molecular motors and switches…
