Chiral molecules split light: Reflection and refraction in a chiral liquid.
A light beam changes direction as it enters a liquid at an angle from another medium, such as air. Should the liquid contain molecules that lack mirror symmetry, then it has been predicted by Fresnel that the light beam will not only change direction, but will actually split into two separate beams with a small difference in the respective angles of refraction. Here we report the observation of...
متن کاملReview High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of drugs containing multiple chiral centers on chiral stationary phases
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the synthesis and separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their importance in the biochemistry and pharmaceutical industry. High-performance liquid Chromatography is a very useful method for the direct separation of enantiomers. However, about 30−40 years ago, commercially available chiral stationary phases wer...
متن کاملA chiral route to negative refraction.
Negative refraction is currently achieved by driving the magnetic permeability and electrical permittivity simultaneously negative, thus requiring two separate resonances in the refracting material. The introduction of a single chiral resonance leads to negative refraction of one polarization, resulting in improved and simplified designs of negatively refracting materials and opening previously...
متن کاملBerry Phase of Light under Bragg Reflection by Chiral Liquid-Crystal Media.
A Berry phase is revealed for circularly polarized light when it is Bragg reflected by a chiral liquid-crystal medium of the same handedness. By using a chiral nematic layer we demonstrate that if the input plane of the layer is rotated with respect to a fixed reference frame, a geometric phase effect occurs for the circularly polarized light reflected by the periodic helical structure of the m...
متن کاملNegative Refraction in Chiral Plasma Media
Negative refraction is currently achieved by driving the magnetic permeability and electrical permittivity simultaneously negative. It is studied an alternative route to negative refraction without manipulating these parameters ( and ) on a chiral magnetized plasma. By adding chirality to the plasma, we obtain windows where the refraction is negative. The size of these windows depends on par...
