Optical Chirality and Its Interaction with Matter
Open accessAbstract
We introduce a measure of the local density of chirality of the electromagnetic field. This optical chirality determines the asymmetry in the rates of excitation between a small chiral molecule and its mirror image, and applies to molecules in electromagnetic fields with arbitrary spatial dependence. A continuity equation for optical chirality in the presence of material currents describes the flow of chirality, in a manner analogous to the Poynting theorem for electromagnetic energy. "Superchiral" solutions to Maxwell's equations show larger chiral asymmetry, in some regions of space, than is found in circularly polarized plane waves.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
