Nontrivial band geometry in an optically active system

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Optical activity, also called circular birefringence, is known for two hundred years, but its applications topological photonics remain unexplored. Unlike the Faraday effect, optical activity provokes rotation of linear polarization light without magnetic effects, thus preserving time-reversal symmetry. In this work, we report a direct measurement Berry curvature and quantum metric photonic modes planar cavity, containing birefringent organic microcrystal (perylene) exhibiting emergent activity. This experiment, performed at room temperature visible wavelength, establishes potential materials implementing non-magnetic low-cost devices.

Tunneling spectroscopic analysis of optically active wide band . . gap

Tunneling spectroscopy has been used to detect the photoexcitation of charge carriers in the wide band-gap semiconductors, ZnO and cubic SiC. Because the process is energy sensitive, valence-toconduction hand or defect charge transfer transitions may be selectively excited and detected with the scanning tunneling microscope. Two types of transitions were detected which change the tunneling resp...

Topologically Nontrivial Field Configurations in Noncommutative Geometry

In the framework of noncommutative geometry we describe spinor fields with nonvanishing winding number on a truncated (fuzzy) sphere. The corresponding field theory actions conserve all basic symmetries of the standard commutative version (space isometries and global chiral symmetry), but due to the noncommutativity of the space the fields are regularized and they contain only finite number of ...

Active Site-directed Inhibition by Optically Pure Epoxyalkyl Cellobiosides Reveals Differences in Active Site Geometry

1,31,4-@-~-Glucan 4-glucanohydrolases (EC 3.2.1.73) from Bacillus subtilis and barley (Hordeum vulgare) with identical substrate specificities but unrelated primary structures have been probed with (R,S)epoxyalkyl (-propyl, -butyl, -pentyl) 8-cellobiosides and with optically pure (3s)and (3R)-3,4-cellobiosides as active site-directed inhibitors. The optimal aglycon length for inactivation diff...
