چکیده

Buckling-induced reversible symmetry breaking and amplification of chirality using macro- and microscale supported cellular structures is described. Guided by extensive theoretical analysis, cellular structures are rationally designed, in which buckling induces a reversible switching between achiral and chiral configurations. Additionally, it is demonstrated that the proposed mechanism can be generalized over a wide range of length scales, geometries, materials, and stimuli.

Elasticity, Geometry and Buckling

strain, leading to the formation of a periodic array of elongated, almost closed ellipses, as shown in Fig. 2D for 3 1⁄4 "0.21. Since the specimens are made of an elastomeric material, the process is fully reversible and repeatable. Upon release of the applied vertical displacement, the deformed structures recover their original congurations. Interestingly, Figs. 2C–D clearly shows that the po...

Rate Equation Approaches to Amplification of Enantiomeric Excess and Chiral Symmetry Breaking

Abstract Theoretical models and rate equations relevant to the Soai reaction are reviewed. It is found that in a production of chiral molecules from an achiral substrate autocatalytic processes can induce either enantiomeric excess (ee) amplification or chiral symmetry breaking. Former terminology means that the final ee value is larger than the initial value but depends on this, whereas the la...

Calculation of Buckling Load and Eigen Frequencies for Planar Truss Structures with Multi-Symmetry

In this paper, the region in which the structural system is situated is divided into four subregions, namely upper, lower, left and right subregions. The stiffness matrix of the entire system is then formed and using the existing direct symmetry and reverse symmetry, the relationships between the entries of the matrix are established. Examples are included to illustrate the steps of the method.

A Computational Study to Find the Vibrational Modes Connected with Specific Molecular Structures of Calculated Compound

The purpose of this research is to provide a deeper understanding of the planar high- symmetry configuration instability. In the ideal case, the distortion corresponds to the movements of nuclei along normal modes that belong to non-totally symmetric irreps of the high symmertry (HS) point group of molecule. The analysis of the structural distortion from the HS nuclear arrangements of the JT ac...

Mirror symmetry breaking and chiral amplification in foldamer-based supramolecular helical aggregatesw

There are numerous examples of achiral or dynamically racemic molecules that generate chirality in one-, two-, or threedimensional crystals, polymers, liquid crystal or supramolecular assemblies. Such systems are particularly attractive for investigating asymmetric induction (i.e. mirror symmetry breaking) and chiral amplification. These conglomerate forming systems typically yield a stochastic...
