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…
