Chiral vibrational modes and vibrational circular dichroism
Xuecheng Tao, Clà udia Climent, Ethan Abraham +2
The recent interest in chiral phonons in a variety of physical phenomena and their hypothesized role in the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect [Phys. Rev. Research, 5, L022039…
Rectification of Vibrational Energy Transfer in Driven Chiral Molecules
Jichen Feng, Ethan Abraham, Joseph E. Subotnik +1
We show that the combination of molecular chirality and phase-controlled driving can lead to rectification of vibrational energy transfer. We demonstrate this effect using classica…
Nuclear Angular Momentum Generation in Thermally Driven Chiral Systems
Jichen Feng, Ethan Abraham, Joseph Subotnik +1
The appearance of angular momentum in the nuclear motion of molecular systems lacking inversion symmetry under imposed thermal gradients presents a novel mechanism with potential i…
Chiral Vibrational Modes in Small Molecules
Jichen Feng, Ethan Abraham, Joseph Subotnik +1
The development of quantitative methods for characterizing molecular chirality can provide an important tool for studying chirality induced phenomena in molecular systems. Signific…
Quantifying the Chirality of Vibrational Modes in Helical Molecular Chains
Ethan Abraham, Abraham Nitzan
Chiral phonons have been proposed to be involved in various physical phenomena, yet the chirality of molecular normal modes has not been well defined mathematically. Here we examin…
Molecular chirality quantification: Tools and benchmarks
Ethan Abraham, Abraham Nitzan
Molecular chirality has traditionally been viewed as a binary property where a molecule is classified as either chiral or achiral, yet in the recent decades mathematical methods fo…
