Enantioselective optical trapping and characterization of all dielectric disorder-enabled chiral particles
Guilherme T. Moura, Tanja Schoger, Kainã G. Diniz +9
We trap submicroscopic silica spheres coated with randomly distributed titanium dioxide nanoparticles in optical tweezers with Laguerre-Gaussian modes and observe orbital dynamics…

Consistent thermodynamics reconstructed from transitions between nonequilibrium steady-states
Rémi Goerlich, Benjamin Sorkin, Dima Boriskovsky +4
Constructing a thermodynamic framework for nonequilibrium systems remains a major challenge, as quantities such as temperature and free energy often become ambiguous when inferred…

Circular Dichroism without absorption in isolated chiral dielectric Mie particles
Rafael S. Dutra, Felipe A. Pinheiro, Diney S. Ether +3
We demonstrate that an effect phenomenologically analogous to circular dichroism can arise even for dielectric and isotropic chiral spherical particles. By analyzing the polarimetr…
