We report observation of electron helical dichroism on a material with chiral structure. In analogy with circular dichroism, a common technique for molecular structural fingerprinting, we use a nanofabricated forked diffraction grating to…
Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is a method whereby randomly oriented chiral molecules are irradiated by circularly-polarized light, photoionizing electrons, which are measured in a momentum-resolved manner. This scheme permits…

We argue that the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of the hard x-ray Raman scattering (XRS) could be used as an element selective probe of local spin polarization. The magnitude of the XRS-MCD signal is directly proportional to the local…

Spectroscopic techniques that are sensitive to molecular chirality are important analytical tools to quantitatively determine enantiomeric excess and purity of chiral molecular samples. Many chiroptical processes however produce weak…

Convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) is a well-established probe for spatial symmetries of crystalline samples, mainly exploiting the well-defined mapping between the diffraction groups (symmetry group of CBED patterns) and the…
The x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) sum rule yields an extremely useful ground-state observable, which provides a quantitative measure of spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking (T-breaking) in a given material. I derive here…
The measurement of circular dichroism (CD) has widely been exploited to distinguish the different enantiomers of chiral structures. It has been applied to natural materials (e.g. molecules) as well as to artificial materials (e.g.…
