Observation of chiral phonons.
Chirality reveals symmetry breaking of the fundamental interaction of elementary particles. In condensed matter, for example, the chirality of electrons governs many unconventional transport phenomena such as the quantum Hall effect. Here we show that phonons can exhibit intrinsic chirality in monolayer tungsten diselenide. The broken inversion symmetry of the lattice lifts the degeneracy of cl...
متن کاملObservation of phonons with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering.
Phonons, the quantum mechanical representation of lattice vibrations, and their coupling to the electronic degrees of freedom are important for understanding thermal and electric properties of materials. For the first time, phonons have been measured using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) across the Cu K-edge in cupric oxide (CuO). Analyzing these spectra using an ultra-short core-hol...

متن کاملHelicity in ropes of chiral nanotubes: calculations and observation.
Even though isolated defect-free single-wall carbon nanotubes are straight, bundles of chiral single-wall carbon nanotubes are often helical according to our observations using high-resolution electron microscopy. The driving force for the formation of such helices is the energy gain associated with the optimum orientational alignment of neighboring nanotubes. Our total energy calculations allo...
متن کاملChiral Colloidal Molecules And Observation of The Propeller Effect
Chiral molecules play an important role in biological and chemical processes, but physical effects due to their symmetry-breaking are generally weak. Several physical chiral separation schemes which could potentially be useful, including the propeller effect, have therefore not yet been demonstrated at the molecular scale. However, it has been proposed that complex nonspherical colloidal partic...
