Observation of Rayleigh optical activity for chiral molecules: a new chiroptical tool
Duncan McArthur, Emmanouil I. Alexakis, Andrew R. Puente +7
By measuring a small circularly polarized component in the scattered light, we report the first observation of Rayleigh optical activity (RayOA) for isotropic samples of chiral mol…

Robust chiral optical force via electric dipole interactions, inspired by a sea creature
Robert P. Cameron, Duncan McArthur, Alison M. Yao +2
Inspired by a sea creature, we identify a robust chiral optical force that pushes the opposite enantiomers of a chiral molecule towards regions of orthogonal linear polarization in…

Theory of Rayleigh-Brillouin optical activity light scattering applicable to chiral liquids
Robert P. Cameron, Emmanouil I. Alexakis, Aidan S. Arnold +1
It has long been understood that dilute samples of chiral molecules such as rarefied gases should exhibit Rayleigh optical activity. We extend the existing theory by accounting for…
