Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is a chiroptical variant of infrared absorbance that measures the differential absorption of left- and right-circularly polarised light by chiral ...

Chiral molecules can present different chemical properties. For applications like drug delivery and diagnosis, it is important to detect chiral signals in mixtures. Although electronic circular ...

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) exploits the differential absorption of left- and right-circularly polarised radiation by a magnetised medium. In its X-ray variant (XMCD), element-specific magnetic ...

Magnetic nanostructures have long been part of our everyday life, e.g., in the form of fast and compact data storage devices or highly sensitive sensors. A major contribution to the understanding of ...

Metamaterials are a novel class of man-made materials with engineered qualities that surpass those found in nature. Unlike most substances, whose behavior is determined by chemical makeup, ...
