A Route to Pure Optical Rotation in Self-Assembled Materials through Energetic Non-Degeneracy
Daniel J. Gracias, Thomas J. Ugras, Richard D. Robinson
Achieving large optical rotation with minimal ellipticity and absorption, 'pure' optical rotation, remains a central challenge in chiral photonics. Solution-processed self-assemble…

Understanding the Structural Origin of Chirality in Magic-Size Semiconductor Nanoclusters through Self-Assembly Simulations
Hongjin Du, Ellery J. Hendrix, Richard D. Robinson +1
Semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) are atomically precise nanoparticles exhibiting unique size-dependent properties, but their ultrasmall dimensions hinder structural charact…
